Current Status

Rove returned to Network Ten on April 1, 2007. Roving Enterprises has appointed a new series producer, Todd Abbott, to relaunch the variety show for 2007. It now occupies the premium timeslot of 8:30pm on Sunday nights. The show at the beginning of 2007 moved production from the Global Television facility in Nunawading to the old Seven Network studios in South Melbourne on Dorcas Street. As a result of the move the show is now broadcast in the 1080i High Definition format, as High Definition facilities were not available at the previous location. Each year, the show's set changes in some way from the previous. In a previous year, the set was changed to be less like a "Late Night" show, comparable to Jay Leno's or Dave Letterman's shows and to seem more like a variety show, such as Hey Hey It's Saturday. In 2007, the show's set was reconfigured back into a more "Late Night" show again, even going so far as having a view of the Melbourne cityscape in the background.

In March 2007, Network Ten began a series of advertisements with the tagline "ROVE IS BACK ON TEN." In the advertisements Rove was seen walking down a runway and either ends up stepping in a bucket, or being blocked by a microphone. In both ads, he would say "It's good to be back", to which the voiceover says "Good to have you back." As of mid-march, Ten had not produced any advertisements stating particulars of the show. Peter Hellier returned to Rove's side, however in addition to this, Carrie Bickmore, who had previously only been the news presenter, had her part increased to be a more important part of the show. Along with this, following the cancellation of his show The Glass House, Dave Hughes joined Rove as a permanent member of the show.
