Remember when Channel 7’s presentation was a direct copy of NBC?

You notice that copyright that I had posted above. Also notice that there is a QTV ad billboard inside the Rotary Rodeo.

What’s the “Capital Eyewitness News” look like?

Which markets got the “Let’s all be there” package? Obviously Adelaide from that clip and Sydney. Brisbane didn’t.
Interesting tweet from George Donikian, saying he originally went to Nine to read the “News at 10”… which never materialised.

Ten would have smashed the demos that night. That is the Ten we knew and loved. Sickening what they did to Ten in the last few years.
The Empire Strikes Back after election coverage on 7. How appropiate
Ten airing a movie with regular news updates (although as per the TV guide, they had a special at 10pm for the 2007 Federal Election) worked well a decade or more ago but these days, we have multichannels for alternative programing/movies on Election night.
Does anyone have a Nine Morning News Weather, Finance & Closer from early 2014 just before the graphics change was going to use the footage for an upcoming assignment. Feed from Nine.
I was in Ten’s demographic in 2007 and I certainly wasn’t watching The Empire Strikes Back

Even though viewers at home only saw it in 4.3, is it possible that Nine’s 1999/2000 “New Millenium Television” On-Air Presentation package might’ve been produced in 16.9 widescreen?
I remember finding an article about the creation of the New Millennium Television ident. I think the site was Design in Motion? They had an original copy to download and although it was sadly 4:3, it was created over the 1997 theme music! It was 3 separate CGI animations cut together and took months to make. I wish Wayback had a copy of the site

I’m sure these have been posted here before, but nonetheless. WIN WA full page newspaper ad and brochure from their launch in 1999.

I believe it was just Sydney. The other cities all had their own local packages (Hello Melbourne/Love you Brisbane etc.)
The movie opener and other elements of that campaign were still used nationally.
I have a bit of a theory that Seven’s current logo was derived loosely from NBC’s pre-1986 trapezoid logo.
I believe this trapezoid kind of theme was then incorporated into that Australian Television Network logo that started to be used around the late 1980s…
I suspect that the current Seven logo was also formulated during the late 1980s, and was meant to have some form of animation flipping between the ATN and 7 logo. Eventually they picked it up out of the dustbin in 2000 and switched to using that one.
I mean, seriously - it can’t be a coincidence that this trapezoid has the exact dimensions of the bottom half of Seven’s current logo can it?

HSV7 in 1984 had “Be There” which was different again, and also adapted from NBC
