Rahni Sadler (Sydney, born on 24 June 1972), is an Australian television reporter.
Sadler first worked in media as a teen model for Chadwick Model Management. Her career focus though, was journalism. After doing work experience in radio, TV and at magazines, Rahni secured her first reporting job at WIN TV, the Nine Network's affiliate in Canberra. She chose Australia's capital because she studied politics at Sydney University, taking part in the Government Honours program. Her break as a correspondent in the Federal Parliamentary Press Gallery came in 1997. She nearly missed out on the job because she was sent on an urgent assignment to cover the Thredbo landslide for WIN News on the day of her job interview with the Seven Network. She approached Seven's bureau chief, Glenn Milne, on the side of the Thredbo Mountain and he agreed to reschedule.
Sadler broke many stories as a reporter for Seven News at its Federal Political Bureau in Canberra from 1997 to 2000. In mid-2000 she accepted a position at Seven's Sydney newsroom.

Rahni was among the first journalists on the scene following the tragic news of the death of actor Heath Ledger. She broke the news of Michael Jackson's death to Australian audiences live on radio station 2GB with Jason Morrison on 25 June 2009.
In 2010, she returned to Australia after more than seven years as a correspondent in the U.S. and took up a position as senior reporter for the Seven Network's Sunday Night program. [2] She was also a fill-in presenter on Weekend Sunrise .
Rahni has carved out a reputation as a thorough and empathetic interviewer receiving strong praise for her interviewing style, particularly with celebrities. [3] Rahni has mentioned as among her favourite interview subjects Matt Damon, Bruce Springsteen, [4] Barry Gibb, [5] Cher, Steve Carell, Ricky Gervais, Queen, Fleetwood Mac [6] and Abba. [7]

ATN is the Sydney flagship television station of the Seven Network in Australia. The licence, issued to a company named Amalgamated Television Services, a subsidiary of John Fairfax & Sons, was one of the first four licences to be issued for commercial television stations in Australia. The station formed an affiliation with GTV-9 Melbourne in 1957, in order to share content. In 1963, Frank Packer ended up owning both GTV-9 and TCN-9, so as a result the stations switched their previous affiliations. ATN-7 and HSV-7 joined to create the Australian Television Network, which later became the Seven Network. ATN-7 is the home of the national level Seven News bulletins.
