''Seven News Sydney'' is directed by Sean Power and presented by [[Mark Ferguson (news presenter)|Mark Ferguson]] and Angela Cox from Sunday to Thursday and [[Michael Usher]] and [[Angie Asimus]] on Friday and Saturday from Seven's headquarters, located at [[Eveleigh]]. Sport is presented by [[Mel McLaughlin]] from Sunday to Thursday and [[Matt Carmichael (journalist)|Matt Carmichael]] on Friday and Saturday. Weather is presented by [[Angie Asimus]] from Sunday to Tuesday and [[Sally Bowrey]] on Friday and Saturday.

News updates for Sydney are presented throughout the afternoon and the early evenings, with news updates during the night being shown nationally, they can be seen on [[Seven Network|Seven]], [[7two]] and [[7mate]], as well as [[7flix]].

At the end of 2003, a year before all of the Seven Network's News and Current Affairs moved to Martin Place, the ill-fated dual presenter format of [[Ross Symonds]] and [[Ann Sanders]] came to an end after the pair failed to make an ratings impact in the Sydney market, losing viewers to competition winner ''[[Nine News#Sydney (New South Wales)|Nine News Sydney]]'' (then National Nine News), which had led in the ratings for decades. After Ian Ross took over from both Symonds and Sanders in 2003, ''Seven News Sydney'' became the 6pm ratings leader from February 2005 until 2010.

Ross presented his final bulletin for Seven News Sydney on Friday 27 November 2009 with Bath taking over as main weeknight presenter on Monday 30 November 2009. Former ''[[Nine News]]'' presenter [[Mark Ferguson (news presenter)|Mark Ferguson]] took over from Bath as weekend news presenter from Saturday 28 November 2009. The bulletin retained its ratings lead until it was overtaken again by the rival Nine News bulletin in the ratings in 2011 – Seven's 6pm bulletin won 14 out of 35 ratings weeks.<ref>[http://www.mediaspy.org/report/2011/10/22/nine-news-sydney-takes-ratings-crown-from-seven/ Nine News Sydney takes ratings crown from Seven] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131212214219/http://www.mediaspy.org/report/2011/10/22/nine-news-sydney-takes-ratings-crown-from-seven/ |date=12 December 2013 }}, Media Spy, 22 October 2011</ref>

In January 2014, [[Mark Ferguson (news presenter)|Mark Ferguson]] was appointed weeknight presenter, replacing [[Chris Bath]] due to poor ratings. Bath became weekend presenter and continued to host ''Sunday Night'' until her resignation in July 2015,<ref>[http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2014/01/mark-ferguson-replaces-chris-bath-at-seven-news.html Mark Ferguson replaces Chris Bath at Seven News], ''TV Tonight'', 27 January 2014</ref> after which Melissa Doyle took over.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://au.news.yahoo.com/sunday-night/features/a/28468558/seven-network-farewells-chris-bath/|title=Seven Network farewells Chris Bath|date=16 June 2015|publisher=Yahoo!7|access-date=16 June 2015}}</ref> More changes to Sydney's news presenting team in subsequent months saw former Melbourne weather presenter David Brown replace Sarah Cumming as Sydney's weather presenter and [[Mel McLaughlin]] replace [[Jim Wilson (sports journalist)|Jim Wilson]] as the sports presenter.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}

In August 2016, it was announced that [[Michael Usher]] would replace [[Melissa Doyle]] as Friday and Saturday presenter.

For its efforts in bringing news of the [[2014 Sydney hostage crisis]] to the whole of Australia (ATN's Martin Place news rooms and facilities were evacuated and news operations shifted to a makeshift studio miles from the site, with additional coverage from other stations nationwide), Seven News Sydney became the [[2015 Logie Awards]] winner for Most Outstanding News Coverage.

In June 2020, Jim Wilson left Seven after 28 years with the network, to become a new host of 2GB's Drive program. His last sports bulletin was 27 June 2020. It was later announced that [[Matt Shirvington]] would replace him.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-07-03|title=Channel Seven welcomes Olympian Matt Shirvington to the team|url=https://7news.com.au/sport/channel-seven-welcomes-olympian-matt-shirvington-to-the-team-c-1144498|access-date=2020-07-03|website=7NEWS.com.au|language=en}}</ref>
