Just walked past Southern Cross Austereo’s studios at Broadbeach on the Gold Coast and they’ve definitely removed the Ten, One and Eleven logos which used to be on the top left of this picture. WIN has opened up in Southport according to their website. Now we just need to wait for changes on-air!

WIN’s owner Bruce Gordon wants to buy Ten; if he gets his way & the federal parliament abolishes the reach rule, sadly the Ten brand may yet disappear & be replaced by “WIN” in the rest of the country too (as speculated in the Ten Network Holdings thread)…I really hope neither he nor Murdoch get control of Ten.

Yes, I have been very aware of both Bruce Gordon’s and Murdoch’s intentions with buying the Network Ten Brand ever since the first rumour that circulated on the Ten Eyewitness News Content and Appearance Thread about the Ten Eyewitness News Brand being sold to Sky News before the Media officially got the word, which followed with Voluntary Administration and as of recent, Receivership, with the possibility of Ten being relaunched as WIN Nationwide as the rumours say.
I really hope CBS or anyone else other than Bruce and Gordon buy Ten. Keep WIN a regional Brand, thanks, I wouldn’t like it if the Ten Brand ceased to exist.

Do you mean Gordon and Murdoch?

If Bruce gets his hands on the TEN Network (metro) and wants to use the WIN branding, I think he should consider putting WIN on LCN 1 (WIN One ?) as the primary channel and make TEN a secondary channel brand.
Everytime I added the \ it removed it for some reason. 
I thought from what I read (and watched), it was coming to a point where it was becoming difficult to operate till the 1991 relaunch. I wasn’t born yet, so I just go from what Information I can find.
Going back on my word already! My bad, I corrected that in the Ten Network Holdings Thread.
There was a consideration towards reducing on-air hours such as shutting down overnight or mid-morning transmission but, like with a lot of things written about Ten at that time, it was just speculation. There was never any real possibility it was just going to go off altogether.

I think the only metro Network Ten station closing down overnight at that stage was ADS-10 Adelaide.

Spot the Twitter Trend…

It’s currently a trend here in Sydney too. All the “Ch 8 or CH80” tweets are from WIN News Twitter accounts.
Even funnier than the time “#NBNNews” was a Twitter trend in Sydney!

Either WIN have done some sneaky stuff on Twitter, or Twitter Trends are just stuffed

Another case where consolidated (national or even international) brands would’ve been better, as they would’ve provided relevant free-marketing for the respective network.
Looking forward to “#8 or 80, except when it’s 5 or 50, but otherwise don’t look at 5”

I’m assuming this is the NNSW market? Since there’s an unprecedented scenario there and WIN effectively have the 5xx and 8xx range of LCN’s and they’re simply redirectors (e.g. 2 and 21 are the same stream but accessible with 2 choices). Is it possible that WIN could transition the region to 8 but running simulatenous LCN’s on 5 and 8 for say 6 months. Ads can be run advising of the change but in the meantime both old and new “shortcuts” will work.
They don’t - 9NBN have the 8xx range

WIN’s Port Macquarie office. Very basic and no signage on the front of the building.

That WIN logo should be on size A1 paper! How disgraceful! Far too small!

Nope, it represents what the size of the watermark should be
