Test Cards and Other Internal Content

As someone who has worked on installs and moves previously, I can tell you whatever acronym you pick for the new building gets littered absolutely everywhere in documentation and config. It makes a lot of sense to continue with the acronym until you move again, because no one wants to spend their life renaming stuff for the sake of it. And it makes the answer to the question “am I looking at a new thing or an old thing?” very obvious.

There have been many discussions here about what stations are called these days. Those who worked at Docklands got their knickers in a twist when we referred to BCM as HSV. Good luck with getting anyone here to get on board with MQT.

My position has always been the official registered callsign reigns supreme. Management and employees can call new buildings whatever they want, but everyone outside of their bubble knows the stations by their callsigns and they just have to deal with it.

You say ODS is for One Denison Street/Sydney, but other users may suggest otherwise?

Could be the following:
OpenDocument Spreadsheet
Operational Data Store
Obstructed Defecation Syndrome
Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome
Ozone Depleting Substances

or one of these:

A moment on France 2 in the halftime of Six Nations encounter between Italy and Scotland. There was a very long beep played as well.

Then it cut to the breakfiller (filled with Olympics material) for about half a minute before signal restores.

Might be a funny coincident that the feed is entitled “Channel 2”.

Always knew Nine had a left lean :laughing:

Countdown clock to the break visible in the ABCNC background (not sure what the text below it says but it disappears after a second). On the right is my rough recreation of it.

Isn’t the background fake? Why have a countdown?

Do people who work at Seven Adelaide still refer to it as SAS?

Watermarks wrong on the other networks esp ABC HD while SBS had no W/m and 10 and 9 had news.
