Very Community Television esquire.
Whilst I do like the animation, the background audio could have done with a bit of a redo.
The logo animation reminds me of this Ident from 2008.

I’d imagine that the animation was done on C4D which for me is one of the easiest 3D Animation software that I’ve used.
The background imagery is what gets me. Red on red never looks good.
Of which they had their own version:
It appears Imparja are no longer showing Nine News Darwin on 9GEM, despite their online guide on their website saying they do.
I tuned in to 9GEM tonight in the hope of watching it, but it didn’t air, with the metro 7:30pm programming airing at 7:30pm AEDT as normal.
Also noticed that the multichannels are a direct dirty feed from Nine, including Nine branded promos.
Though the 2018 “We are the one” promo aired on 9Go! Tonight featuring Peter Overton in QLD, so I assume the central north feed of 9Go! Is just a one-hour delay of 9Go! Sydney
Do the Sydney ads air as well?
Sounds about right. Plenty of times I’ve seen Sydney-centric promos on both Go! and Gem, particularly for news and current affairs.
Nup. They’re like any other regional Nine multi-channel; dirty feed except for the commercials. You do however see the occasional Sydney sponsor billboard if Imparja haven’t paid attention.
I’m curious as to why Imparja, after going with a single affiliation, has gone between giving a damn about its presentation (eg. the red box era), and just taking the Nine package but with its own name next to the balls?
I think their ‘red box’ era was their last attempt at an independent look and feel. It probably came about after a push for more local relevance during a board meeting or something. They were using the full Nine design before ‘red box’ too.
The ident now has a Celebrating 30 Years tagline.
9Go! idents have got the tagline as well.
Interesting to note that for decades now, the Mt Oxley site near Bourke has been well over power for the last couple of decades. Imparja and the rest of the services are well beyond what you’d think it’d cover even for the undulating plains of NSW there.
This is straight out of the 1980’s MTN-9 presentation guide. What a dated joke, to think the client has paid for this low quality rubbish:
Yes, I understand Imparja is Indigenous-owned. But does its ownership actually serve any on-screen purpose? They have no local news beyond your garden variety noodle updates, and the only local content appears to be a children’s show called Yamba’s Playtime. From what little information I can scrounge together, they’re not doing too well with money; a good indicator being they replace Today Extra in full with infomercials.
With SBS broadcasting NITV nationwide, and ICTV (which itself grew from Imparja) available via VAST, considering likely content shared between the two, is there any need for Imparja to continue as a regional affiliate? Surely it make more sense to sell their license and work with either NITV or ICTV to produce content? Prime/GWN or WIN would in theory be able to use revenue from its other stations to help prop up Central and not have it struggling for cash.
Nope. Yamba moved to NITV. They don’t even have noodle updates anymore. Nothing is local except CSAs and commercials.
I honestly think Remote Central & Eastern is destined to be a solus market operated by Southern Cross. There’s no way the government could keep throwing money at a loss making station when SCA could just do the lot for a fraction of the price.
I thought the noodle updates stopped because of their office flooding - did they never start back up again?
Didn’t the office flood after the updates were cancelled?
Imparja is also in the dog house as they are one of the 12 broadcasters who failed to meet “Non-primary Channel Transmission Quota['s]” - which the ACMA themselves have said is caused by Nine moving content to 9LIFE and these licencees not carrying the channel. Imparja had the second worst compliance rate on terrestrial and VAST.
Unless Imparja do major reshuffling of what programs are carried on Imparja, GEM and GO, I don’t think they will be able to continue operating long term - they would need to put up the funds to carry 9LIFE; lets not even think about HD at this point.
If they were to sell I’m sure WIN would be fronting up the cash so they could become the only commercial FTA network that operates in every Australian state and territory… could also mean that there is one region where WIN’s primary affiliation is with Nine!

Late edit: Imparja had the second worst compliance rate on FTA and the worst on VAST. VAST isn’t counted in the 12 licencees who failed to meet the quotas however
I can’t see WIN doing business with Nine.
They would probably want Imparja as a Ten affiliate (renamed WIN) and do Nine Central as a JV with SCA.
They would do business if they had to… WIN SA’s main channel has been affiliated with Nine (main affiliation when it was ONE channel), then Seven, then Nine again, now Ten… anything goes!
If Imparja sold and WIN bought they could re-neg with SCA so that the Ten affiliation goes to WIN, the Nine affiliation goes to SCA and Seven is a JV or SCA gets Seven and Nine goes JV.
Alternatively NEC could buy Imparja if up for grabs, but would they want to?
WIN still has Nine affiliations and Bruce Gordon is still Nine’s largest shareholder.
