Not new. But would love to see them more often.

Glad they’re keeping the tri-tone square idents. Classiest idents on TV of any network idents in the last 20 years.

I’d like to see a 90 year ident that celebrates the use of the Lissajous Curve over the year.

You’re in Luck, because I’m watching Rage I’ve recorded yesterday and I see Below the Logo is the Number 90.

That in itself has never been a reasonable excuse, as all an ident does is push all content out by 7-12 seconds (or more depending on its length) within the hour. Unless there’s an ad airing at :59m:30-59s which gets pushed into the next hour, it doesn’t affect the hourly blocks on non-program matter.

It’s really just an excuse to cut costs as they cost money to design/produce/manage. The longer a presentation package is used for, the cheaper it effectively becomes.

Last night’s Media Watch included a segment on an ABC promo about all the great shows available on iView. However, the promo put an extra s after Four in Four Corners.

Any mention at the up-fronts if the multichannels are being switched to HD? There was an article not long ago which mentioned changes to ABC News in 2025, but didn’t say what.
