I remember this look from the days when Nine used to own Prime NZ. We used to get the Today Show and National Nine Morning news plus late night ACA. It showed what NZ TV was lacking at the time.

Loved this look! Still think the original package that debuted in Jan 2004 (before the tweaks were made) is the best they’ve ever had.

Probably something related to the tsunami aftermath?

I would love to see Nine do a slightly updated/modernised version of that 04/05 package for a mid 2023 refresh.
