The whole campaign, the Tas implementation or the Darwin implementation?
I fail to see the problem. Though the lighting on the local footage is slightly different.
Theyāve put in more effort than Prime7 with local faces and endcards.

The whole campaign. Horrible song, bad edits and so on.

Nothing against the efforts put in, I just canāt stand the song.
Thatās why I thought Iād ask. Agree. I do think the Tas inserts are good. Not so sure about the Darwin ones but itās definitely a pretty good effort compared to the Prime7 one especially including the two separate Launceston and Hobart shots.

Great effort by SCA, but why didnāt they use DAR?

Iām betting that GTS/BKN idents probably wonāt be that different to the Darwin idents with limited local faces.
The whole rebrand has been a total mess to be honest. The average viewer wouldnāt really care - I donāt suppose but from the announcement through to retaining the Southern Cross News brand, recent posting on the Southern Cross TV facebook page, the use of the Southern Cross Austereo logo on random bits and bobs. Aaaargh. Not good for those with OCD.

I think out of all the markets, Central and Darwin viewers would notice it the least. Central was still being referred to as ā7 Centralā in many satellite groups and sellers.

Yes, Iād like to know how much of it had to change for whatever reason at the last minute. I have a feeling that if the 7News Tasmania and everything had all gone ahead it would have been relatively seamless across social media, on air and buildings etcā¦ but I think the having to retain Southern Cross News threw quite the spanner in the works. Iām really confused with the Facebookā¦ itās all still Southern Cross and thatās what theyāre still referred to everywhere so itās all everywhere which is quite unusual for what theyāve been like for 20 years prior.
nah yeah I have to agree. it sounds really awkward with the āLove Sevenā from the BHAG team then āDarwinā from whom I guess is the noodle update presenter there? it isnāt local at all and yeah coulda done better really.
Though Iām sure Tim Hatfield is fuming he left just before he could star in a 
7 GTS/BKN ident

There is a job currently advertised on Seek for a Sales Representative - 7Tasmania in Launceston. Sounds like the rebrand is in full swing.

Just a general āputting it out thereā request, with all the staggered and confused changes with SCA, is anyone able to / prepared upload complete caps of the new presentation (PRGs, sponsor billboards, promos, IDs, News, line-ups, etc)? 
Am very curious.

Probably the 5th or 6th time Iāve seen a Heart 7 MELB ident on Central. Looks like SCA only made them/had them made for the their capital city markets?
I wonder if Central North gets the BRIS version?

Has anyone seen an ident/caption/mic flag etc for 7 GTS/BKN? Iām curious as to how it will look.
To compare, WIN Seven seem to be airing generic Heart 7 idents (most notably for Home and Away) alongside their existing pool of Gottaloveit idents, as opposed to capital city idents
And donāt you love it!
