Perth and Radelaide also launched hideous red Nines on their news for a while.
Forgot all about those red logos. Was always a laugh at watching them trying to communicate that theyâre not âNineâ while having to use âNineâ at the same time.

I just saw Daniel Gibson front a weather update down here in Canberra.
Now⌠if itâs good enough for Canberra to get a proper weather update., it should be good enough for Newcastle to have one!! (since neither have a local news bulletin).

Yes I saw that too (I shouldâve posted about it) but thought maybe it was just because of the fires in the area.
So it doesnât normally happen?
I didnât see anything in it about the fires anyway.
Sorry I shouldâve said, the one I saw was the previous night (Wednesday), where Daniel Gibson definitely made reference to fires. I donât know about tonight.
No worries, and no, I donât think he made any mention of fires last night either.
Those are usually earlier in the day from memory? Late night they just do the ones with no presenter and some backing music.
Perhaps it varies by region?
I think Prime7 Wollongong/South Coast air the graphics/music-only updates during the day and updates with a presenter in the eveningâŚ
Until a few days ago in Canberra I hadnât seen a presenter for the weather updates (for years).
That same counter is also on 7 ⌠but strangely right now, itâs only on 7 and not Prime7 (Newcastle) as I type.

And why is Seven putting that out on itâs clean feed?

Two thingsâŚ
- Does anyone watch / know if anyone watches (ratings) Prime7 Gold Coast? Wouldnât everyone just watch the Seven Brisbane Gold Coast station?

Good to see Prime Media Group has updated its network watermarks (no doubt a decision with MediaHub) 
A minor/petty question, but BCM have their watermarks always on the network feeds (i.e.) when they cut to an ad break, watermarks disappear with the program feed & when they come back from an ad break, the watermark is there again straight away with the program feed.
So do the Prime7 & Prime 7 Sport watermarks (via MediaHub) ever go into an ad break until someone removes it (common with regional networks)? Or are they like Seven, automatically go off/on with the program feed?
Thereâs probably a number of people who use the EPG and end up on Prime (and the other regionals) that way. A lot of viewers wouldnât know, and even less would care, that there is a difference.

I donât think there would be many that watch Prime7, 9NBN or TEN GC.
Most people would just press 7, 9 or 10 because thatâs what theyâve been doing for decades (prior to aggregation in the early 90s),

I actually disagree to a degree.
I find most people just turn the TV on and press the Up/Down channel buttons to see whats on and settle on what theyâre looking for.
Iâd imagine which channel people settled on depended on what LCN their TV was on previously.
Example if they turned their TV on and LCN90 came up first, theyâd likely flick forward and find MKR on Prime7 on LCN6 and stay there.
Thatâs just my opinion anyway

Viewers on the Gold Coast are well aware of the regional variation as they have had the extra 3 networks since before aggregation and could seek out occasional variations to usual network shows prior to digital (eg AFL on Prime). Post digital, and with the main 7, 9 and 10 stations the preference would always be for the Queensland station with the news, weather and news updates (and even adverts) though the night more suitable. They probably care less, however when it comes to choosing some of the multichannels.

Not sure what was going on during MKR tonight - we had the Prime watermark but Seven PRG and âup nextâ graphics for Two/Mate/Flix and the MKR > tomorrow watermark half over the Prime watermark.
