Nine On-Air Presentation

Started now, just the decorating the xmas tree followed by a Merry Christmas with the Nine logo and the new STW building in the background.

This might be the first year ever or something, I am yet to see a school sing a christmas carol that has been playing on STW since forever.

Maybe it was planned to air until Australia went so crap in the cricket.

Nine has a new 2017 promo, with “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler. Much of the focus on Married at First Sight.

Been running for at least a month now. The freeze frame at the end looks dodgy IMO.

Ha … thank you, this shows how much attention I pay to Nine!

Just saw a “We (HEART) It” three second promo on Nine in Newcastle - starts with 4 young people with their arms around each other and then an aerial shot overlooking Newcastle from the port.

It looked quite schmick.

Now don’t tell me those have been running for at least a month - right? :stuck_out_tongue:

Just saw a 9 Christmas ident on GTV-9

That’s pretty awesome.

better effort than last year…

Looks (and sounds) fucking awful, almost looks rehashed from the 9Go! version

I wonder if Nine realised that they couldn’t entirely cheapen out with the Christmas Idents this year and got DD8 to produce them? I’m not sure about everyone else, but I think that the “HO HO” text especially is reminiscent of stuff seen in the more recent Idents on GO!/9Go!, something which the broadcast design specialists in question just happened to produce!

Anyway…while I personally think that Nine’s 2016 Christmas Idents aren’t the best ever (especially music wise), I still think they are certainly considerably better than the absolutely horrendous “efforts” from last year’s festive season.

I think Perth is running their own so might not see it.

Update: It appeared at 7:30pm!

Looks and feels like a KMart ad to me…

Not a fan but good to see them make an effort.

It does have that 9go vibe to it.

At least they’re doing something, unlike Seven and Ten.

Dancing balls and “ho” everywhere. Pitching this to the bosses must’ve been a double entendre minefield.

That seriously wouldn’t be hard though would it? Considering last year’s disastrous “efforts” anything would be considered an improvement. It is better of course (even though it’s very similiar to that of 9Go!'s), but it’s still pretty average to what has been created in the past.

I wonder if Seven or Ten will do anything now (under two weeks to go!).

Baublebot! Where can I buy one!

I agree, not a fan at all.

Random tidbit: this late night movie (A Midnight Clear) doesn’t have break bumpers or any super before ad break. Fade straight to commercials. Never seen that happen before for a movie airing on Nine.
I’ve always wondered why they bothered with those, especially at 2am. Seven and Ten mostly phased them out outside of primetime in the late 90s/early 00s
