It looks good, but I think it should just be 9.
Sorry, straightened it a bit to get a better look!
It always pays to check your number 1’s NBN… if it’s too yellow, drink some water.
So NBN is Number 1 but you have to press 8 on your remote, only then to find its really 9.
But then 1 + 8 = 9 !!!

NBN is not a network.
It’s a station.
But there’s multiple NBN variants for parts of NNSW and the GC, so it could be argued it’s a network.
TCN, GTV, QTQ, NWS, STW and NTD are TV stations branded as 9 and affiliated to the Nine Network.
NBN is a TV station branded as 9|NBN (at least this week) and affiliated to the Nine Network.
No amount of opt-outs or market variations make a station a network. I will die on this hill.
Serious question: What do NBN see themselves as? A full member of the Nine Network or just the local Nine affiliate which happens to be owned by the Nine Entertainment Company?
The latter I think… if they were a “full member”, I think they would have 100% branding 24/7 for everything including online.
I suppose as long as they perform
NBN NNSW and 7 Tasmania are still the highest rated stations (Highest share) in the nation I think, Even more so than 7 Perth
We don’t know how NBN is rating in comparison to the other stations. I haven’t been able to access the Regional TAM reports all this year. They had in the past been publicly available, the same as OzTAM. I wonder why Regional TAM has effectively put all their reports behind their paywall. Surely, you would think, Nine and Seven would want to promote the success of the regional stations they own - NBN and Seven Qld?
here you go my friend

That’s not what I meant.
GWN might give them a run for their money ![]()
And 7QLD too.
I see that Nine use the callsign GCQ (or very similar) for its Gold Coast feed, which is basically an opt out of QTQ. I guess that’s not strictly even a station, is it?
To my knowledge that’s only used internally, but there’s an argument there - in much the same way that in a regional market, one station may have multiple advertising feeds
