9Life

So is 9Life in WA showing to the AEDST schedule ?. I heard it was a national feed somewhere.

Local commercials, occasional Nine promos but WIN promos can be seen too. I think it’s a WST schedule but it’s hard to tell as the EPG doesn’t match what’s on and my website’s guide scraper bot has it wrong too. So not really sure.

Right now Million Dollar Rooms: Million Dollar Train Station is airing.

Edit: I had worked out it was in AEDT up until about an hour ago. It’s now in WST and EPG is correct.

Now that 9 life is going Australia wide, has 9 life started to beam in Darwin and the remote eastern Australia yet? Or is it coming soon to the area?

The Yourtv site says they already have Nine HD but not Life not sure if that is accurate and if so how come one and not the other.

It may be that nine Darwin couldn’t obtain enough local ads to support a start up of 9 life. If that’s the case I believe it’s still some months away for both Darwin and areas where imparja is seen.

Has anyone noticed the commercials airing on 9Life (via NBN Television) in the Newcastle market have been for businesses in places like Taree, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Lismore, Tweed Heads etc…?

same as 9Go and 9Gem since inception.

9NBN and 9HD must get local feeds (6 local feeds for the Northern NSW market area) but it sounds like 9Go!, 9Gem and now 9Life get one market wide feed.

Makes sense.

Is anybody aware of any plans to extend 9 life to Darwin? I know it’s coming at a later date. At present there’s 2 channels of extra on 94 and 95. I’m just wondering if anybody is aware of any plans to extend 9 life to Darwin?

I spoke with the 9 life department at nine network and they say they are working and planning to introduce 9 life to Darwin and other regions which do not receive 9 life as yet. But no time frame has been given out as yet.

This reply is in response to my friends in Darwin who has asked me if there was plans to introduce 9 life to Darwin.

And by the way I’m backin the big smoke after a ten day visit to the top end. I hope to return up there to Darwin in the coming months to escape the southern winter.

Very weird seeing the HGTV logo in lineups now. Cheapens the brand for me.

Noticed that earlier. Next thing we’ll have the narrator from House Hunters doing the lineups - she already narrates half the channel anyway.

Scripps is pushing hard in this market with SBS Food Channel and 9Life, as well as the Asian feed on FetchTV, not surprised seeing them push their brand on Life as well.

What is HGTV ?

HGTV = Home & Garden Television. A US Pay TV channel owned by Scripps, where 9Life gets a lot of it’s content from:

Thanks

Surprised it wasn’t 9HGTV when it launched.

When they say “Aussie First” are they meaning it is new to free to air , as I think it has aired on Foxtel a few years ago ? So for someone who has Foxtel and seen some of the content this would be repeats ?

You’d think that would mean first time in Australia on any platform. Otherwise it’s a shonky claim unless they say Aussie free-to-air First.
