Iâd imagine that Peter Overton actually got to present some content on that set (and maybe even that graphics package) though. Itâs to my understanding that Pete was the original presenter of National Nine Morning News from its July 1997 launch until the end of 2000 when he became a 60 Minutes reporter!
I thought the way i was sitting in this photo looked like how a newsreader might sit for a promo video or something, so I incorporated it into the mock.
Newsreaders iron their shirts
Regular people iron their shirts
itâs a tough shirt to iron!
That set almost looks like a jail!
Sue looking good after her hand surgery I see.
The camera is set so far back from the desk that itâs probably being filmed from Sydney
Their desk is so big, the Snooker Championships are considering their studio for next year.
We all know how Nine has 9GEM (GEM standing for General Entertainment and Movies). This would be WIN TVâs version of that kind of channel. Mind you knowing Bruce, it would have no reference to what is screening on the channel - much like the WIN channel GOLD making no reference to specific programming on the EPGs
Then when the Gordon family does a Packer family type deal, BRUCE TV would be renamed as
If Media Spy had a showbagâŚ
Contents include:
*RTL/SDR tuner - ideal for DVB-T, DAB+ & FM.
*A proper VHF/UHF antennaâŚbecause those ones provided in the boxes of tuners are utterly hopeless at reception.
*Metal keyringâŚwithout anything extra.
*Sunglasses.
*Umbrella - youâll probably be more likely to use this than the sunglasses, knowing what the weather is often like in Sydney at Showtime!
*Coffee mug - may be broken once you arrive home.
*Cap
*Drink Bottle
*Blow-up Hammer (because what Easter Showbag would be complete without one?)
*Tote bag to carry it all in.
Plus your choice of âRelaunched Sizeâ snack & drink (range including, but not limited to those pictured)
Other suggestions welcome.
I wouldâve included a âI hate the WIN shitstainâ bumper sticker, the âreturn The Simpsons to 6pm on Tenâ T shirt and a channel Ten programmers white board with First Thing at 6am and news at 6pm already entered with permanent marker.
How big is that? Surely weâre talking a few kilos
The largest sized bag produced for the chips and 1.25 litre bottles for the soft drink, because a 2 litre bottle would be just far too heavy while the old 600ml âBuddyâ size probably isnât quite big enough to be âRelaunch Sizedâ for many Media Spy members!
Geez, that would be an expensive bag!
A proper MediaSpy showbag has the following:
- DAB radio
- Shitty earphones
- Shitty cap that doesnât fit
- Shitty keep cup that leaks
- Shitty useless lanyard
- Stickers that donât actually stick to anything
- A ECC-branded vomit bag because I make everyone sick
- Out of date lollies, chips and drinks
- Useless coupons for brands and business youâve never heard of
- all kept in a duffle bag that breaks when you put anything heavy in there.
All very ridiculously priced, of course.
All branded with shitty WIN mappy I presume?
Maybe?
