Nineās NRL watermark text has been changed from āLIVEā to āLIVE and FREEā (with the āandā in capitals but smaller font).

I wonder how long it will be until Seven sues Nine for ripping off what is almost the Seven Sport āsloganā these days? 
Anyway, hereās a cap for what itās worth:

WIN go to all that trouble to coverup Nineās WWOS watermark, yet thereās a Nine WWOS logo on the scoreboard graphic! Whereās that facepalm emoticon when you need it?

Nine have a feed that uses an NRL logo in place of the Nine logo that they send overseas. Nine should be sending WIN that feed, so they donāt need to do any covering up.

Is this technically possible when WIN uses Nineās feed for pre-match and post-match also?
This feed (NRL logo in place of the Nine logo) is also used as video highlights on the NRL official website.

Agree, when you are paying as much as WIN are for affiliation, they should be getting a clean feed.

Which is why Nine would need to supply them with it, rather than WIN just taking the international feed.
They have to watermark it at some point, but given that isnāt stickers on the camera lens, they would be able to send WIN a clean feed.

About 10 years ago, WIN did get a clean feed of the cricket, not sure how it came about, but I donāt think that lasted anymore than 1 season at the most.
FOX gets a clean feed from Nine too (I think), so certainly possible.

No itās not. Nine would place the NRL logo on the āworld feedā which would contain a generic wide shot of the ground whenever nine specific content was aired (pop up promos used in cricket eg.) It would also not have the hostings.

Do you FOX do their own hostings?

Yes FOX has its own hosts and commentators for NRL matches produced by Nine, this was discussed in some detail in the Fox Sports thread.

Probably less than that. At the time Nine was using the Optus D1 satellite to send a clean feed either back to TCN or to another broadcaster (perhaps GlobeCast to send it overseas? Not sure). Anyone with basic satellite equipment at the time could watch it. WIN basically hijacked that feed. When Nine stopped using D1, the WIN cover-up returned.
From Dec 2007:
Nine had brought back the dots and WWOS logo during this clean feed era which must have caught WIN off-guard when they had to revert back to the dirty feed as seen here:

Or Nine shouldnāt watermark. No need for two WWOS logos. Keep the one on the scoreboard and get rid of the watermark.

Thanks for that! Yes, that was the era I was thinking of.
Didnāt realise thatās how WIN got it.

I remember that summer. I thought it was weird that the dotless box was still appearing everywhere but then the dots were on the cricket. At first I thought it was a mistake.
