More often than not based around that famous ‘Still the One’ slogan. Although Ten had a few goes in those days, like this one for Ten in Sydney and there was also a Melbourne version of this one. Not sure if it was also adapted for Adelaide and I doubt Brisbane made it into “Home on 0” which might have had different connotations!

Seven had good ones too and they were still doing them in the 00s. When we first had a video recorder in the mid 80s, I would record all these idents for every channel and watch them back often. I remember they used to play the extended version every day in certain timeslots. Might have been something like 6pm, 7.30pm and 10.30pm in prime time, so I’d be waiting to record them as they were rolled out. ---

This was probably the best one Nine ever did (in 2002), which probably cost a bomb.

We didn’t get a vcr until 1988 so before then I’d just have to watch at key times to try and catch them. One year i somehow missed Nine’s effort altogether, maybe i had a life that year and just never caught it, and once Feb came around it would be gone. i didn’t see it until someone put it on YouTube about 30 years later. ---

Seven also sometimes did new idents during the year like this one during the Sydney Olympics 2000.

And before I forget, there’s this one from Seven in 1979 which featured all the network male presenters dancing around with random scantily clad women. 😮 Quite funny what was acceptable for network newsreaders and hosts in those days. 😂 From the promo for the upcoming Season 2 of The Newsreader on the ABC, we see a snippet of the newsreaders dancing in what looks like a network ident with other personalities and looking rather uncomfortable. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

Seven revived the idea in 2003 with different ways to “Chuck a Lucky Seven”.
