The Seven Network has announced it will be airing Hey Hey It’s Saturday’s 50th birthday special later this year.

Hey Hey We’re 50 will air as a one off event on Seven and 7Plus hosted by Daryl Somers, as it is understood that Hey Hey’s former broadcaster, Nine decided to pass on the special.

Mumbrella understands that Nine rejected the pitched idea of a 50th anniversary special from Somers’ production company, Somers Carroll, with the special finally landing at Seven, the network that currently airs Dancing With The Stars, which he also hosts.
