inb4 “9HD is rebuilding”
Don’t post that in the affiliation swap thread. The lads are all too busy dancing on the ashes of Mappy.
Never in a million years did I think I’d hear the WIN god voice say “You’re watching Channel 9”
WIN have also gone and changed around our SEVEN stations here in the Riverland. 7MATE is now on CH63 with a new 7HD on CH60, also SEVEN Loxton (SD) has been replaced with 7HD also on CH6. I wonder if they’re shuffling the list around for the addition of new stations like the horse racing and 7FLIX. Other changes are also the additions of 9HD and 10HD, WIN and Loxton prefixes have been scrapped too
Would be nice, but I doubt it.
Yeah, it’s not for that
At least WIN have finally swapped out GEM and 7mate HD for 10HD and 7HD ![]()
I’ve noticed that WIN this morning, at least here in the Illawarra anyway, have been airing more of their own promos (e.g sponsor billboards, WIN News ads) rather than the generic-Nine branded ones (e.g “Australian Ninja Warrior” ads). Typical of WIN to still try and maintain their independence, even after taking up the Nine branding. 
I don’t mind these in-break things, they may only be temporary (for confused viewers), at least the solid blue blob won’t be burning into the screen any longer.
Have watched a few ad breaks on 9 via WIN this morning as well as the metro feed.
The first ad in the metro feed, the 9 promo is also aired on WIN from the dirty feed. Then there’s a split second on WIN that you can see the metro ad before the local ads kick in.
Any 9 promos that air at the end of the break on metro are not aired on WIN.
Pleasantly surprised not to see a “WIN” add on to the Nine watermark. Thought they might follow NBN and do that.
Noticed this also. Nine not giving WIN an opportunity to bastardise their promos.
He used to voice promos for Nine Adelaide and Perth when they were owned by WIN.
The work for WIN’s voiceover guy will have dropped off a cliff now. Hopefully not an issue for him.
Droppped off a cliff 5 years ago when WIN affiliated with 10.
Ah of course; not watching Channel Blobby/Mappy much I’d forgotten that 10 was doing the promo VO.
Here’s a comparison video of WIN’s feed vs. the metro feed. The audio was messed up, so I’ve muted the video.
First part of the video compares 9HD, second part compares 9Go!.
WIN are definitely using the dirty feed, like SCA did. As the PRG’s are animating at the exact same time and in the exact same colour.
Nine uses different colours for their PRGs in each market, so clearly this is just the dirty Sydney feed airing.
WIN also appear to be covering up 9Now adverts, and the ads calling for people to “Apply Now”. Other Nine promos that are shown on the metro feed also air on WIN, so they seem to be blocking these intentionally.
So still getting the decent PQ on the WIN channels rather than the trash posted previously on WDT etc.
James Bracey just gave a special shout out to WIN viewers at the start of tonight’s NRL game (though I had a chuckle at the closed captions that said “Wynn”
)
