Interested to know, how is it better than WIN?
[/quote] It starts with the over-branding…
you gotta be very quick around here 
Many of Media Spy’s regional members have complained over the years about WIN watermarks/coverups, dubious “we cover so much of Australia” promos/branding and the like, often mixed in with comments about how they’d prefer to see the exact same branding that Nine runs in metro areas on their local affiliates.
Now that SCA Nine is running with most of it and NBN seems to be transitioning to Nine’s branding as well, people are still complaining! Maybe I’m missing something, but it seems that some regional viewers will never be pleased with regional TV branding no matter what the stations run with…

Personally I couldn’t be happier to finally have Nine here rather than WIN and all their coverups.
I just think SCA need to be a bit more careful with their promotions and adverts, as they’ll leave a bit of a sour taste in people’s mouths if they keep airing “Love This City” promos for Brisbane in Central QLD. (Why do they even have the Love This City promo for Brisbane in their promo library?!?)
Having “Brisbane’s No. 1” on ACA promos is a little annoying, but I don’t see a solution for it, and realistically it’s better to see what’s coming up tonight on ACA rather than WIN’s generic promos. So I’m not too fused there.
The only other problem so far has been Brisbane’s traffic update airing. Most likely just a teething problem.
But think of how annoyed the people of Ayr, near Townsville will be seeing all this Brisbane stuff creeping into their local channels, they’ll be riots in the streets if SCA isn’t careful.

Why are those areas in that chart without 9 HD ?
Yeah, I take your point about the metropolitan-centric promos.
For ACA promos, the solution is so simple…use the generic/national promos that Nine produces (or at least used to produce anyway) for the show just like NBN do (or did?).

During the first few minutes of Hotseat, 9HD Wollongong had a scrolling message advising viewers to rescan if they have lost 9Gem and 9GO!.

9HD looks magnificent on channel 50.

That was up earlier this afternoon, still the old Ten one though with nothing to do with Nine.
Speaking of TDT/Nine Tasmania, would I be right by presuming that they’re airing Nine News Melbourne from tonight?

You assume correct.

Just reading comments on 9hd’s FB page…
Dear Channel 9. Please resume broadcasting in regional WA. I will kill myself if I have to watch Kochie every morning

Dear Facebook commenter,
Nobody is forcing you to watch anything. Turn the TV off or find a non-Kochie channel, there are plenty of those still.

I just saw the first local news update. The logo didn’t look like a proper nine news logo at all.
Sca produced sponsorboard aired but used an out of date nrl logo and
