So they must have been negotiating even with an election going on.

Nine may have to think about buying these joint ventures when the reach rules are repealed so they donât go through this rubbish every year or so.

Is 9Gem up yet?
Yep, began at 8:55pm WST at the start of the movie. They crashed into election coverage on Nine, but waited for the next scheduled program on Gem and Go!

Did you get 9HD ? Or just 9SD.
Probably just 9SD considering they only had 3 playouts, but I donât really know.
Ok thanks.
No 9HD or 9Life. 9Gem is in MPEG-2 HD 1440x1080p
Well I guess it beats the scenic river boats montage Iâm sure that would drive viewers crazy after a while. 
Anything is better than that. I wonder how long it will take to get 9HD and Life launched on the joint-ventures? Youâd want to hope whatever agreement was signed tonight includes them.
Some of the early commercial breaks were rough, getting the end of a Perth ad or cutting back to the feed late. But the last break was very clean.
Absolutely hopefully itâs not a long wait and the wheels are in motion.
Channels in the US go to for months when there are disputes like this (mostly cable channels - but still itâs a lot - for example Time Warner Cable had a spat with CBS a few years ago in NYC - All CBS channels including CBS, CBS Sports Network and a few others went off in NYC for a month or so
CBS took out giant billboard in Times Square say âcall TW Cable and complain:â
