Southern Cross have told Freeview to put a Nine logo instead of the Southern Cross Ten logo. They have Nine on the brain lately for some reason.

Interesting the mentioning of NRTV.
Well the station’s callsign is NRN. Why is that interesting?
NRN yes but they refer to “NRTV” which is the on-air brand not used since 1994. Does seem a bit odd to have that name reappear in a public release when the station does not identify as that, but maybe it’s still used as an internal ID and has just snuck out.

Callsigns are very much referred to internally by staff.
NRTV was used on an SCA job last month, a job that’s based in Sydney.

I know that but NRTV is not the callsign. The official callsign is NRN. “NRTV” is an obsolete station ID but obviously still used internally instead of NRN for some reason.

My point exactly @TelevisionAU . I just found it odd they used the brand as opposed to the callsign or even just Ten Northern NSW.

Maybe the old NRTV brand might be revived if the station is eventually sold off to WIN, to establish a strong local brand (because “WIN Northern NSW” just sounds completely wrong) by filling a gap that NBN is leaving behind by transitioning to full Nine Network branding?
But seriously, that’s just a bit of very wishful thinking on my behalf. I actually agree it’s simply some internal references that have slipped through and nothing should be read into it.

Northern Rivers Television Pty Ltd is the entity who own the licence. They are owned by Southern Cross Austereo. Pretty common in business to have entities with different trading names.
Just found this too, check out Channel Nine Melbourne’s name.

It’s just like “NBN Pty Ltd” is the entity (which is owned by Nine Entertainment Co) that own the Northern NSW licence for Channel 9 programming.
