STW9

Good point. Nine would pay for something like that.

Did they have any words from Greg Pearce, Dixie Marshall or Sonia Vinci in any of the idents?

Or perhaps Tim McMillan? :smirking_face:

Well done Nine Perth on a fantastic documentary and tribute for 60 years. Love the light-up last night in Nine’s blue logo on Perth’s buildings.

Given the way he and Emmy Kubainski were treated at the end of 2017, I wouldn’t say likely.

Similarly, apart from appearing on the final episode of Sunday in 2008, Jim Waley never appeared on Nine again in any capacity after his abrupt sacking in January 2005.

My comment was in jest, hence the emoji I shared a long with it

I’ve managed to rip STW’s special and news from last night - was there anything else in the days leading up to last night?

And no, I’m not uploading the full special. I am a digital hoarder and it’s going with the rest of the TV specials I have. For my own personal amusement. :rofl:

Peter Waltham with a Nine mappy on his shirt.

would be interesting if STW actually used that ident at the time or did they just grab that from the network archives.

Sounds like they did what Seven did and used edited ATN graphics for BTQ and HSV’s anniversary specials.

I didn’t know Winston Smith worked for both STW-9 and the east coast Seven stations? (IYKYK)

I don’t know

1984 reference.

Winston works in the Ministry of Truth re-writing history. Seven rewrote history by pasting “HSV” and “BTQ” where ATN was. Don’t know when STW started using Dotty but did they use any of the Nine Living Color animated IDs when they came out? If they ddn’t - add them to the list.

STW started using dotty in 1978 when it formally became part of the network. They wouldn’t have used the Living Colour Nine IDs of the time.
