I expect across SNSW VIC QLD AND TAS that 7 Queensland / prime7 will
Continue to be #1
I also think that the historical ratings strength of the WIN owned stations, plus keeping channel 8, plus WIN news, plus to recent strength of Ten programming - will keep WIN in the #2 position for a while
I think the historically low rated SC stations, combined with a complete lack of local news and branding, combined with keeping the channel 5 LCN - and also Nine’s recent performance - will
Result in SC owned stations staying in the #3 position for quite a few months
Perhaps when they launch local news, the 5/8 thing settles sown and Nine as a network pips up a bit - SC will have a shot at being #2 - but for the next few months I predict they will be #3

Just saw a TEN Metro advert on ELEVEN[/quote]Have noticed for the last few hours that all the promos on Eleven and One that have aired have been Ten metro instead of WIN’s versions. Given up already and will just let them through?
Interestingly, the “Newcastle Herald” has listed Network TEN programs as being on WIN (LCN 5) for today and tomorrow in it’s TV guide in today’s paper.
TDT is still empty in our TV guides, likely to be a few more days before newspapers can catch up with the guides, another reason why it was a smart move by WIN to hold the negotiations and uncertainty, there’s no guides even some of the online ones aren’t updated.
Has probably already been mentioned, but watching WINHD (Ten), Eleven and One via WIN now and the PQ is still incredibly bad. Meanwhile watching 9HD, 9go! and 9gem via SCA the PQ is very good unlike before under WIN. WIN continuing to be shit as usual!
Absolutely agree.
9HD looks stunning here, absolutely the best quality of any of the channels we have in my opinion, so SCA have done a fabulous job there, especially considering 9HD wasn’t expected to be available from launch.
Meanwhile, Eleven and One definitely look worse than they used to.
[quote=“WAtvVideos, post:2173, topic:55, full:true”]At least the shit is on a 3rd rating network now. :)[/quote]Haha, I guess. But it’s still unacceptable from WIN. WINHD looks like utter rubbish in particular. What in the world is wrong with them?!
[quote=“NQCQTV2, post:2175, topic:55, full:true”]Absolutely agree.

Meanwhile, Eleven and One definitely look worse than they used to.[/quote]Yep, apart from the dirty feeds going to and from ad-breaks, SCA have done great job all things considered. Now they need to think about the news content side of things. Those updates doing the rounds look atrocious (makes the previous Ten styled updates look half decent!).
Back to the topic of WIN, is WINHD even HD anymore? It sure doesn’t look like it to me…

Ten doesn’t air much content in HD, so naturally WIN would not be
Most US stuff on Ten seems to still be in SD[/quote]Yeah I’m aware of this. But to me the PQ on WINHD looks incredibly poor even for SD. Much like it did before the affiliation swap.
Absolutely, in my opinion 9HD looks better than the old WIN HD used to. It’s marvellous in my opinion, so so clear!
WIN HD was good, but not this good.
9HD is good enough now that 9 News Brisbane looks a bit shitty when it comes on after watching other shows on the channel (obviously because it’s upscaled SD), but previously on WIN HD I couldn’t really tell the difference between 9 News Brisbane and other programming.
WIN HD with TEN now isn’t totally terrible, the ads look nearly comparable to 9HD, but programming is definitely not as good.
