“The One To Watch” slogan is from 2000, so I’d day yes, it’d be 20 years old.

What’s it for? (As in what was it doing there?)

Gravity Media production trailer and relay van at Trevor Barker Oval in the bayside Melbourne suburb of Sandringham, for today’s AFLW clash between St Kilda and West Coast.

The rego plates are still a telltale sign of a TV vehicle to the trained (ie. Media Spy) eye.

As is the giant mast sticking out of the roof.

Giant masts can also be for OB vans, and other telecommunications companies, not just TV.

Which to the general public would be the same as a TV van.
I think most people would associate a van/4WD with a mast and being for TV.

Are most nine vans no longer branded?

I believe seven and ten still have logos on theirs, but I would say this could be changing soon.

10 only has logos on their LiveEyes, all their other vehicles are unmarked. A few years ago they had old Ford or Holden station wagons in news.

It looks like that vehicle has finally been replaced. The plates now belong to a 2021 Toyota Hilux registered in December.

Flicking through some old photo albums with my kids and came across this one of a GTV9 link truck at Station Pier covering a visit by Charles and Di for Victoria’s sesquicentenary celebrations in 1985.
