This should be worth a look.
Although I imagine they might casually overlook his brief stint as director of news and current affairs at Ten in the 1970s which wasn’t overly fruitful, or his attempt to revamp his Willesee program on Seven in 1981 to have a focus on comedy. The show was axed at the end of that year. 
Agreed… all that dark pink and blue and that god awful virtual set!
2002-2003*
2004 didn’t have the characters interacting with the balls and gigantic days. Instead they had a character dancing or something and then the camera zoomed out from the floor to reveal Nine and Still the One.
2002-2006 was the best era of Nine pres imo
I think they were still using the “This is Channel Nine’s [Day]” Idents in Early 2004 (along with the standard “camera zooming through and out the logo” Idents), although they were probably phased out of regular use by the time of the Late 2004 refresh.
Here’s another one from @zampakid which was (probably) from around the same period of time as the Blue/Monday one from tvcl:
I think most of MediaSpy would agree with this, arguably still the best presentation package of any of our commercial networks. It still looks fresh and hasn’t dated at all 15 years on, unlike several of the packages that Nine used after (especially anything with the dotless nine).
May be of interest to TV histroy buffs
This was the 2004 version I was talking about with the camera panning up from the floor. I believe this was used throughout early 2004 instead of the bouncing balls with the day.
This one says 2006, but it’s 2004.
I still maintain the original launch day dotless 9 package was great, then Nine ruined it with tweaks.
Indeed, given it’s something I maintain, I’ll just quote for complete correctness the last post I made saying this exact thing:
Yeah, now he’d Tweet about it
I loved the 2006 relaunch as well!
I watched that show, but I don’t remember it being as dorky as the opening titles suggest… 
Does anyone have any content from Nine’s morning/Afternoon News from the 18th February 2014?
You literally could’ve attempted any comeback possible and you picked that?

Awesome picture/audio quality for VHS tapes that are 19-21 years old.
If I’m not mistaken, this one’s from 1998. Back in 1996, the “Give Me Ten” Idents would’ve still been in use and I’m pretty sure those abstract IDs with the clouds background at the end were used by Ten in 1997.
Including Kochie when he still had hair! And of course Peter Luck on the endtag who passed away recently.
Well it was honestly my initial facial expression at the time.
