Could you make it straight? Or even?

Nice idea btw.

Very nice.

Sure!

Who will anchor the bulletins?

@PaddyTePou, unless @TBoy has talked to you, can you let them run their station, not turn this into another one of yours?

(If you guys have talked, then by all means go ahead).

What’s the thought process behind the fragmented “I” in the logo?

I don’t know. I just thought it would look good.

Your logo as a whole looks good, but the “I” gets a bit lost. I wasn’t quite sure what it was meant to be, it almost looks like you’re separating the V and C with a vertical bar (“V | C” instead of “VIC”).

One suggestion, fill in the “I” but make it lowercase as a callback to the original VIC TV logo!

VIC Television Weather Warning (aired 9/6/2021, SD sorry)

Thoughts?

Way too long and way too fast.
It was hard to keep up with that speed. It should be about half that.

There’s also far too much content - over two minutes worth, and being in a ticker there’s no coming back if you lose your place or tune in after it’s begun. A ticker is better suited to a short sharp update. If something of that length in required then it really should interrupt programming and be voiced as well.

AFFILIATION AGREEMENT SIGNED BETWEEN NINE AND VIC

4 June 2021: Nine Entertainment Co. and VIC Television have today announced the signing of a new regional television affiliation agreement.

The minimum 7-year agreement will result in VIC broadcasting Nine’s metropolitan free-to-air television content from channels 9, 9Go, 9Gem and 9Life into Regional Victorian markets , providing seamless access to Nine’s television content across all of metropolitan and regional Australia.

Under this new agreement, which will commence on 1 July 2021, VIC will pay an affiliation fee of around 40% of its regional advertising revenue to Nine and provide airtime to Nine to allow promotion of Nine’s assets across VIC’s television stations.

The affiliation agreement has not been shared until the 25th of June, 2021.

In 2014, VIC Television announced that they would refuse to air the children’s series Dora The Explorer. In replacement of it, alternative programing was placed in the timeslot. This happened until 2016 when VIC switched affiliation to 10.

But unfortunately in 2020, 10 gained rights to Dora The Explorer. VIC Television refused to air it again, and replaced it this time with the classic TV show “Round the Twist.”

This is an example of alternative programming on 10 Peach via VIC Television.

Note: The little VIC on top of the watermark is there in every show, not just breakaway.

What?

Surely you would just WIN the 10 logo, rather than a wonky sticker.
