Nine On-Air Presentation

In one of the comments someone brought this up…

None of the commercial networks (Channels 7, 9 and 10) had more than 5% of presenters, commentators and reporters, who were identified as having a non-European background.

They need to make it imperative to get diverse voices on their team.

Getting the desire and drive for people eligible or not to get vaccinated is still a good thing.

Agree. Seeing well known personalities promoting it and getting vaccinated themselves helps with community sentiment around the vaccine.

Oh please… :roll_eyes: You may as well shut off from the world then. There’s no escaping the fact that there is a pandemic on and we all need to do our part including getting vaccinated.

To be fair to Nine this isn’t the first time the campaign has been recut. The original version that aired on Sunday night didn’t include Hamish Blake. I thought it was odd at the time that Andy Lee appeared and Hamish didn’t. I just checked a recording from Sunday and Blake definitely wasn’t in it but started appearing from Monday. It does seem Nine’s claim that they intended to roll out a number of promos for the initiative is true and more faces are being added.

Has been like that ever since Gold Coast playout moved down from QTQ to NPC back in 2012.
The (GCQ9 internal callsign) playout for 9 Gold Coast is fully separate from the 9 Brisbane playout.

But why is there inconsistency of any sort across the network? I would have thought that there was some design or scheme to the selection of colours etc and they weren’t just randomly generated.

Re, the random generation of different coloured PRGs on different stations across the network: Does it really matter?

They’re all within network branding guidelines (unlike in years gone by when the design of PRGs could vary wildly between markets) and 99% of viewers will only ever see one different version of Channel Nine on their screens at home anyway…

WAIT, NPC has internal callsigns???

And I wonder if this extends to the various NBN feeds?

eg
NBN is Newcastle
CCN could be Central Coast
GCN could be Gold Coast

alternatively, NBC for Central Coast and NBG for Gold Coast?

Why though?

Yeah I know NBC US and PNG, but why would they care about an internal callsign?

Wait until Channel Nine’s Northern NSW O&O station hears about some kind of national broadband network that’s being planned…

Then Scomo will threaten to revoke Nine’s broadcasting license and pull the plug :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I hear that Channel 9 has the NBN network embedded in every station :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

No, is more historical tied to the Nine Phoenix schedule system before NPC was established.

Ah Phoenix. Whata success that was…

would you happen to know any other internal ones??

Channel 9 have removed their HD watermark on Channel 90 HD. It’s been like this for at least a week now.

Interestingly the HD add on has just appeared next to the WWOS logo during tonight’s NRL coverage.

It perplexes me why they would use it for sport but not general programming.
