If that promo is anything to go by, Nine are in for a bumper Winter (aside from the AFL in the Southern states, of course)!
None of those programs sound particularly appealing to me.

Visually the promo is great. The content within it is pure crap.
As others have mentioned, the network that used to be enriched with drama and quality scripted content is looking like MTV. And that may even be insulting to MTV
I get the purse strings are stretched, however cheap and nasty programming like this is just embarrassing.
It’s really sad when you have a network like 10 who are trying and producing some decent drama and it’s not getting the eyeballs, then you have 7 who are pumping this entertainment/scripted reality out.

Totally agree, Unless you like reality you can fuck off from network television the networks are saying now (except 10 and ABC/SBS).
It’s a slap in the face to the audience, it’s saying you’re all stupid, and we know it.

I can’t stand the reality format, particularly romance-related, but geez you can’t ignore the hype that MAFS generated. So many people were talking about it.

Exactly - Nine showed with MAFS that viewers not only want “cheap and nasty programming” but they’ll flock in their droves to the lowest common denominator version of it
Having said that, Seven, Nine & 10 are all going to be absolutely fucked if/when the reality TV ‘bubble’ bursts…

Prime version of the promo posted in that thread:
No. It’s advertising designed to exploit a loophole that’s written in the Code of Conduct that allows these “ads” to not count as part of their quota of advertising allowed.
Networks should be more guarded of their own branding instead of selling it off to advertisers.

Yep, I agree.
In an era when the networks are facing increasing challenges from online media, they should be taking more pride in their station branding right now than they ever have before. But instead we’ve got these ridiculous Sponsored Idents, Movie Tie-In Idents and “Idents” which are essentially program promos but without the time/date.

I notice Seven has been showing new graphics for the lotto draws this week, but these numbers are much smaller than before, making them harder to read even on a big screen.

Saw the lotto numbers during The Front Bar tonight and they were back to normal size before the new graphics were introduced.
