Everyone: download that SES-8 MP4 of mine because there is video with that sound but i think that the board’s software is time locked in the past.

Legend. Thank you for that. You wouldn’t happen to know what this music is that is used on the MTN9 Griffith news from 1986? That one has also drawn a blank. https://youtu.be/P-j1LOdiUuY?si=kHuxr8JScvEoYNy6

I very rarely frequent the TV section of MediaSpy (I’m a radio nut) so, hello to the 99%.
I was surprised to find a Prime ‘This is where we live’ promo that features Bungendore! I’m pretty sure the uploader is a contributor here, so thankyou for this.

That was one of the most annoying iterations of the This is Where we Live songs probably a close second being the summer of the year 2000 ads. I am glad you enjoyed that one I grew up until I was 15 in the area so know it well. My favourite would be the song from 1995 the long version of this.

I remember a ‘summer time’s time for summertime Prime’ jingle, too. I didn’t grow up in the rurals so mainly saw Prime from DX reception of Wollongong and when visiting relatives in the Central West of NSW.
‘Streets Of Your Town’ replaced ‘This Is Where We Live’ I suppose.

I was never a fan of the Prime promos from the mid to late 90s.
I preferred the early years where they modelled it on the Channel 7 promos but with the “Your Local Station” tag added in. I thought that worked well.

Stumbled across this Nine News Queensland bulletin from 2009, presented solo by Andrew Lofthouse after Melissa Downes went on maternity leave, also coinciding with QTQ getting a new set to match those seen at TCN and GTV.

After the 2008 relaunch of (National) Nine News, QTQ kept the 2006-08 version of the news theme, though used the traditional closing music (as first introduced in 2000). I wonder why they used two separate themes for the opener and closer - IIRC I did hear some commentary about it.
It wasn’t until 2012 that they started to use the standard theme as heard in Sydney and Melbourne, and which remains today.

Wikipedia continues to irritate me - they insist that referring to the DW missing episodes as “destroyed” is POV and imposed “deleted” But deleted is a post digital era term. You can delete a computer file, but you can only wipe an analogue tape or physically destroy a film reel.
Sorry, I’m a little antsier than usual today after i read a DW fic supposedly set in London in 1983 that referred to a character the Doctor meets as “watching ITV1” instead of Thames Television (9:25AM Mon-5:15PM Fri) or LWT (5:15PM Fri to 6:00AM Mon) in the London ITV region as it should have been if it is 1983.
