5 Second Ident:
Had disappeared last week but was still on the EPG etc, was hopeful it was forever instead of a technological glitch between Australia and wherever this is shot (Iâve heard Hungary).
Thereâs also a 15 second version of the new ID:
Why would it be filmed in Hungary?
Itâs clearly made entirely for Australian audiences, and doesnât look like itâd be that expensive to produce locally.
I was looking at this list of people whoâve won money watching Call & Win
And I thought it was odd to see nearly all of the winners recently have been from NSW/VIC/TAS only.
I figured this would be due to the programme only being live in AEDT states, but looking at the online guides, it appears that Call & Win is not even broadcast in non-AEDT areas⌠only NSW, VIC and TAS have it on their schedules.
The lady that seems to be hosting every time I have the misfortune of watching is English and also hosts a show called Game Time Canada.
Itâs definitely not made here, shouldnât be on air here either. How this hasnât been shut down is beyond me.
Agreed.
I donât know if this âCall & Winâ program that airs on 9Gem is the exact same one that used to air on 4ME, but if it is I vividly remember that show airing on the (thankfully) now-defunct datacast channel during the afternoon of Christmas Day 2015!
Yep, thats the one

Interesting.
I watched it a few times back when it was on 4ME and it was definitely hosted by Aussies on all those occasions.
I havenât seen it since itâs been airing on âGemTVâ as they call it on their website
Was also made in Europe when it was on TV4ME. They had one Aussie lady who hosted. Itâs exactly the same showâŚ
L&O SUV starting on 9Gem Sun 25 Feb at 9.10pm in doubles. Must be the week for trotting out this type of content with CSI NY and Miami commencing on One also.
Any particular reason why Melbourne misses out on 9Gemâs classic movie every Friday night? And itâs not due to NRL, as Adelaide still get it (10:15pm). And all other markets.
Been happening for weeks now and some really good, 60s / 70s titles I wouldâve liked to record.
On another note, what is the rationale behind screening the NRL on 9Gem?
I would have though 9Go! would better suit the demographic for the NRL.
Probably a lingering legacy from the days that GEM (as per the branding back then) was the HD channel.
I agree that 9Go! would probably be a better fit for NRL coverage in the AFL states. Infact, I think Nine may have planned to move all GEM/9Gem sports coverage to 9Go! in Late 2015 or Early 2016 but that didnât happen.
9Gem is Nineâs sport multi-channel. Exception is 9Go! during soccer for some reason.
7mate is Sevenâs. Exception when 7Two is used during major events (Aus Open/Olympics/Comm Games).
ONE is Tenâs (though used to be a sport channel âOne HDâ of course).
I know that those are the go-to channels, but what Iâm trying to say is that I feel like 9Gem is the incorrect fit for NRL.
9Gem is an âolder skewedâ demographic channel.
I just feel that NRL doesnât fit in with that demographic, and would be better aligned to 9Go!
Well, it is rating 1% on Thursdays/Fridays due to nobody watching NRL in 3 markets.
So what use is it moving NRL to 9Go!
A lost cause? Nine move Storm games to main channel occasioanlly (when no AFL or finals) now, following Sevenâs lead with AFL in Sydney and Brisbane.
I think the HD factor was why it was the default sports multi-channel in the beginning. I have noticed Footy Classified is now on 9Go! Perhaps change is in the Ayr, near Townsville?
Yet here in Syd/Bri, the late night replay airs on GEM.
IPL on 9Gem?
