As TDT Ten it was reportedly losing money. WIN and SCA would be both hoping that as Nine it becomes profitable, you would think.

One would definitely expect that !

It’s interesting to read all the comments purporting that ‘WIN must be incensed to see all those Nine logos on there’ when both WIN and SCTAS are 50% partners. One could argue that SCTAS was equally incensed to see all those Nine logos on there when in reality neither are really concerned about the web branding. The only reality is that branding aside, both WIN and SCTAS receive their share of revenue that TDT generates, it’s not about competition here, it’s about revenue.
[/quote]Hmmm. Someone can’t take an honest ‘joke’. 
Mind you, wouldn’t surprise me if they were.

Noticed in today’s print guide that the Nine logo has made an appearance in its listing. Vale: New “TDT” logo.

Very interesting ordering of the channels: 5, 2, 3, 6, 8.

Seems to now, by coincidence rather than planning, be alphabetical… 9, ABC, SBS, SCTV, WIN

I was in Hobart today and noticed that the signage has changed on the ABC building where TDT is and it is the Nine logo rather than the TDT logo. Not sure when it changed, the last time I was down there was late August I think and it was still the Ten logo then.
Wonder how long until Foxtel changes their logo for TDT to the Nine logo, seems to be about the only place with it now. Thankfully common sense prevailed. Although on The Advocate and The Examiner websites in the TV Guide section it still has the TDT Ten logo. Looks funny with that logo and Nine News being listed.

I passed it only a couple of weeks ago and nothing had changed, so it’s only something really recent. So what’s on it now? Don’t tell me they have all three WIN, Ten, and 9 logos on it now?! 
Not only just The Advocate and Examiner sites guides still use it. The Ebroadcast guide along with the Ourguide and Freeview guides still use the “TDT” logo. YourTV guide has updated to the Nine logo however.
I wonder whether the use of that newer TDT logo caused some confusion, hence now displaying the proper network logo…?

Given that 9Life doesn’t actually air in Tassie. Do you ever see any 9Life promos or lineups sneak through on the other 9 channels?
I’m also assuming ACA would say “Melbourne’s No. 1” in Tassie?

Only if SCA are experiencing one of their off days of terrible timing errors which slips through Melbourne’s dirty feed. Lineups, yes. But these come directly through 9 metro like all the other SCA9 stations. They still like to tell us regional viewers that 9Gem is on LCN 92 on the combined lineups from 9 metro.

I was expecting to see the new TDT logo (which now appears dead) in place of the old Ten logo.
The Ten logo is now a 9 logo, so there’s WIN, Nine and ABC logos on there.

[/quote]You didn’t happen to get a pic of it did you? I wonder how many would get a little confused seeing both the WIN and 9 logos on there now (seeing as up until a few months ago they were one and the same thing in the general populations opinion).
Nah, unfortunately I was already pushing it by going that way to check it out. Should have had the dashcam in.
Noticed today too that The Advocate has also reverted back recently to calling it Nine instead of TDT (they don’t have logos). They called it Nine for the first few days and then called it TDT. It’s looking like the TDT brand will be dead in Tasmania.

All good. I’ll probably see it at some stage anyway.
This used to be the rather simple break-bumper (for want of a better term) that TDT would run during the 3 week period of early Tasmanian DST to advise viewers of the changes (they also inserted a little clock graphic into actual Ten promos which served as an easier way so they avoided having to edit out all the start times on the promos). I’ll try and get a clip of it soon.

I think there was one year where the promos were updated with the correct times on the actual slides, not voice overs. Certainly would have only been 1 year though. Some years they didn’t air anything at all and just had the wrong promos.

Great to watch Nine in Tasmania because it’s just like watching Nine in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra - it doesn’t have a hokey feel to it like WIN does. Haven’t noticed any obvious timing issues with the playout.

Yeah, SC Nine on the mainland has been great in QLD lately with timings too. Even the HD watermark addition has been appearing at the exact right time as the PRG fades and everything, it’s improved dramatically from earlier
