Yahoo!7 is a 50-50 partnership between the Seven Network and Yahoo! Inc. in Australia.

As part of the Yahoo! Inc. and the Seven Media Group, Yahoo!7 brings together the online assets of Yahoo! Inc. and the television and magazine content of the Seven Network and Pacific Magazines. The company also combines Yahoo!'s search and communications capabilities and its global internet network, with Seven's rich media and entertainment content and marketing capabilities.

History

Yahoo!7 was founded in January 2006 and combines Seven Network's TV channel, the magazine publisher Pacific Magazines and Yahoo! Australia & New Zealand's online properties.

Prior to January 2006, the company operated independently as Yahoo! Australia and New Zealand, first opening its offices in Australia in 1997.

Yahoo!7 moved into its new offices at Millers Point, Sydney, in November, shared with its sister company, Yahoo! Search Marketing. Yahoo! Search Marketing is wholly owned by Yahoo! Inc., and independently provides paid search listings for other sites including Yahoo!7, ninemsn, Fairfax Media and News Ltd.

In December 2006, Yahoo!7 and Telecom New Zealand formed a new joint venture in New Zealand named Yahoo!Xtra.

In April 2007, web traffic analysis company Nielsen Online NetView logged Yahoo!7 as reaching 45 percent of the active online population: 5.2 million of the 11.6 million users in Australia's active Digital Media Universe.

In late November 2007, Hitwise, an online competitive intelligence service, ranked the Yahoo!7 Homepage and Yahoo!7 Mail both in the Top 20 Australian Websites.

In 2008, Yahoo!7 became the "official online broadcaster" of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in Australia.
