My God, is this an April fools joke your two weeks to late.
IDK if this goal is anywhere near realistic (even if this is just a very late April Fools joke/ a troll):
So let’s keep going and our goal is atleast 5000 but if it surpasses that the goal is 50,000
You’d be lucky to get 5-10 at most.

even if it gets 5 million names (LOL!), it’s not going to achieve anything.

I’m worried that this isn’t a troll and this person somehow genuinely believes what they wrote

Let Prime Possum enjoy his retirement. Besides, no one needs to be told to go to bed by some guy in a Brushtail Possum costume these days.

Not related to the Prime7 petition: Today, I have noticed that the Seven watermark remains on screen during ad breaks and Seven News in Canberra. Did @SamuelGS, @TonyCTC or @Aaron_Evans_2005 also notice that?

Maybe the guy’s at 7 are having a joke and leaving the watermark on, in response to yesterday’s post in this forum

Time for a petition to have the watermark removed.

It’s been a fairly regular occurrence for a few weeks now. It’s even staying on over 7News where, unlike the promos where it perfectly matches the 7 logo placement and just makes the 7 logo look a lighter shade of red, it doesn’t match the 7News logo placement at all and looks quite messy.

7 don’t control their transmission anymore. All outsourced years ago on 7 and former Prime markets.
While you are at it, how about petitioning to restore the old RVN/AMV, Midstate TV and 9-8 Television brandings?
The axing of Prime7 and GWN7 branding was all about cutting costs, nothing more, nothing less. And as the new owner, Seven had every right to change it, their business, their call.

Im not sure if the 9-8 branding would pass muster in the modern age

It would on Media Spy!
I’m sure the oldies would refer to Seven under the old pre-Prime names today. And another thing, when 9-8 became Prime and took Seven programmes in 1989, why didn’t the Mt Dowe transmitter swap frequencies so that NEN was on VHF-7 with the ABC on VHF-9, so that viewers can turn their TVs on to channel 7 (this was in the days of channel dials) to watch Seven network programmes?

It would cost money to advertise the change in frequency for no real gain.

It’s expensive and serves no discernible benefit. Esp as most people had preset or push button tuners etc. And such a swap would incur costs for ABC as well, for no good reason.
And no other regional affiliate did a channel change. Viewers adapted to the affiliation arrangements. And as we saw in later years, affiliations can change, making any channel change irrelevant.
Mostly push button by then and in the instance of my family, we had a dial TV but had a VCR so we would watch TV through the VCR as it had a remote control. You could then tune the VCR to whatever channel you liked.
