The promo acturally has Kath mentioning Peter Overton and Jessica Rowe.
No doubt when Nine discovered it they went straight to this idea.
Ch 9’s HD add-on looks too odd, needs to be more opaque (like Seven’s).
Too ‘fat’ and translucent IMO.

I personally prefer the “HD” watermark addition being more transparent, although I would like it if Nine were consistent by having the main logo watermark at a similar level of transparency.

While I agree with your comments about that In-Program Promotional “Watermark” (and I use that term very loosely), hasn’t the movie The Hunt For Red October been repeated infinitely by Nine since the 1990s?
Buy it on DVD.
Looks like 1/14th to me.

I wasn’t sure if 9Life was avaliable in the Darwin market or not (I think initially when the channel began it wasn’t). But I can confirm that Darwin indeed now receives 9Life (and 9HD).

Yu are correct. 9Life didn’t become available in Darwin until sometime this year. 9HD was available from the get-go.
Has Nine in Darwin always followed the Sydney schedule? (NRL vs AFL)
Not sure, but in 2005 they started preferencing NRL games over AFL games (and The Footy Shows, according to this article: http://www.smh.com.au/news/League/Darwins-wind-of-change-blows-for-NRL/2005/03/31/1111862534893.html
Sponsor billboards appear to be produced at NTD (at least for now), as all the ones I have seen haven’t been of the best quality, like how the news is in SD only (the billboards also don’t use the 9HD logo). While all other promos and Nine content is in HD where applicable.
Here is an NRL billboard:
