There was by the late 1990s, in the ABA list of broadcasting and television stations in 1999 there are two translators licenced for Echuca (see below), but it appears that they dropped off the list after 2003 and were not replaced with digital transmitters. I suppose it’s possible they were licenced but never switched on?

Noise International created Nine’s 2007, 2009, 2009-2012, 2012-2015 on air packages plus GO!'s 2009-2014 and 2014-2015 ones plus Gem’s 2010-2015 ones. Here’s a montage they created:
Noise International only did the music, which to be fair was probably the only good element (except for the “Channel Nine/WIN Television/NBN” whispers) of the package.
Some good news. I’ve finally got a VCR to USB adapter so I am in the process of converting a lot of old VCR recordings my parents made in the late 90s - early 00s.
So expect to see some show promos and idents on YouTube in the near future, if I get around to it
It’s always good to see more people uploading VHS content! I would have about 25 VHS tapes with my parent’s recordings, mainly early-mid 2000s by the look of it with a fair bit of Seven stuff based on tape labels.
Yeah… I believe it’s a genuine ID… I’m just saying production companies or networks will license versions of their creative to other broadcasters… so it’s not a case of copying, it’s a legit business deal.
Nine licensed ABC America imaging for years, Seven did the same with NBC while Ten licensed imaging from ABC, CBS and Fox in various forms over the years.
Some people suggest they stole the concepts but it was never that.
No problem
Finding the discussion quite interesting anyway, always learning new stuff in this thread.
Interesting Seven Nightly News caps! Back in the day when they did the straight angle with the plasma to the left, dumped soon after with the relaunch in July becuase it looked ‘outdated’.
