If Seven would hurry up and buy TNT then that would solve the naming and control issue. With everything going on with SCA right now that may be a possibility sooner rather than later.
The average viewer probably already thinks Seven owns the station anyway.
i wish someone would tell that to 10, with them letting SCA use their theme, now outdated graphics, and bastardising the name/logo of the updates.
They didn’t have a problem with sending them most of the graphics package in 2018 though. I wonder what’s changed?
Different news directors, different brand/marketing managers, different designers…any number of things.
They probably have but Tas is always many years behind in updating haha
Something like this might be better?
Some other stupid stuff… Swapping styles with Nine lookalikes:
Turns out Nippon TV in Japan had a similar nine-dot symbol in the early 2000s, and I found a signoff clip with it in 2001.
I recreated the dotted Australia map at the bottom of the first image, making it the centre of the screen, and swapped the NTV symbol and slogan with 9’s.
So I took a frame from the latter that’s easier to superimpose the dots into, giving it some faux motions lines, and tried to make it look like it’s in widescreen (probably would’ve done better with Photoshop’s AI expand…).
Some other, other stuff…
Would not say “stupid”, this looks super cool and the compressed effect is very believable!
That’s better 
Gosh, who does Nine think they are… CNN?!
Left field idea… with content commonly repurposed on socials what if broadcast supers were in the centre to reduce time taken to edit/caption before uploading? Used 10 as an example for its youth demographic and is probably due a gfx refresh soon.
Great idea. Not so keen on the angular style, but I think that’s just my own personal taste. Lots of potential here, though.
A mock, certainly of the highest calibre when it comes to being “random”, roughly done on Google Slides via my iPad, an idea I’m playing around with 
Following on the discussion in the sunrise topic about the 5am news theme, here is the opener with
The Latest/Seven News theme music: ‘Year in Review’ version
Works well! Nice work
What if ITV NZ, a brand new subscription channel from ITV plc, joined Sky as a rival to BBC UKTV and designed to cater for the New Zealand audience when it comes to British programming?

My idea for a fictional Nine Network affiliate in Orange, New South Wales.
Logo history:
The original logo used from early 1989 to 30 January 2006. A variant with only the “CWN” wordmark was used in its early years.
Logo from 30 January 2006 until 14 January 2008, as PBL (now Nine Entertainment Co) adopted a widely criticised rebranding.
Current logo since 14 January 2008, when Nine brought back the dots (excluding Adelaide and Perth thanks to WIN).
Trivia:
The channel’s callsign is an initialism for “Central West New South Wales”.
In 2000, CWN rejected a $46million takeover from WIN.
The channel’s signal range covers the entirety of the Central Tablelands.
“Still the One in the Tablelands, this is CWN.”
I much prefer the version from @Travis above with the somber version of the current theme, but since it was bought up in the Sunrise topic earlier in the week I decided to have a go with the 1999-2004 theme.
Love it!
