I’m pretty sure that “We Love It” is supposed to be a regional answer to “Love This City” because there are many spots in NBN’s broadcast area which aren’t exactly cities.
Knowing that Kylie Blucher is the station general manager for both NBN and Nine Queensland these days, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if these “We Love It” Idents for NBN are an initiative from her just like NBN’s move towards the Channel Nine name/branding and more Nine-style graphics for NBN News, etc.
Judging by the lyrics and the tone and sound of the song, I would say Kylie Blucher has actually commissioned the same agency who did LOVE THIS CITY for QTQ Brisbane to do WE LOVE IT for NBN Newcastle
I noticed a “We Love it” station ID in Newcastle tonight with a front on shot of Lauren Drinkwater (NBN ENG camera op). I’ve never seen this version before.
yes - Nine NNSW takes Sydney feed except for Millionaire, where it runs a clean feed so it doesn’t take 9News pop-ups - on weekends it doesn’t care as much, so during Customs etc it has “NEXT: 9 News” on the PRG
Will be interesting to see if/how this changes when playout is moved to Sydney - given Northern NSW is unique in having 6 different sub markets for ads.
