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’m surprised people still watch movies on commercial TV.

It was on Ten many years ago, same with Patriot Games.

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:

I was quite surprised to see a “We Love It” ID airing on Nine Darwin.
It uses the music track in a different order to NBN, and the end tag graphic is different as well.
Strangely, I’ve only seen this air on 9Go! …

I’d rather have the 2012- idents air…

Rather amateurish audio editing (at least with NBN’s 30 Second Idents, it doesn’t sound as obvious) there.
The endtag graphic doesn’t look right either, with the somewhat “Fisher Price-esque” font and a Nine logo which looks to be directly sourced from the “Nine News” logo!

Would it be any better with the 30 second track from NBN? Here it is:
Here’s some caps from the ID:

I thought it was odd that Darwin would have Jarrod Croker on the signpost. Then I watched it. That script must have been written by Nine’s commentary team

Sponsor billboard from 9Go. Why they have 9HD there?
