Because equipment was a lot poorer in the early 2000s in what could be done. Now the equipment is a lot better so they can properly cover it up. Regional networks have a right to broadcast the content on their own paid for assets and on the content they pay a shitload of money for, as they please.
The watermark is a lot smaller these days, and has a nice animation at the start, I think some need to get over themselves.
True but do it in a way that doesn’t create a bad viewer experience. All is needed is a way for people in cross markets to tell that they are watching Win which can be achieved without cover-ups that impact on the viewer experience unnecessarily.
Having two Win logos one covering the CBS logo and another covering the 10 logo is completely unnecessary and is quite ridiculous. I hope they received 1000s of complaints about it.
That has been explained above, not on purpose.
I disagree, but I am going to leave it there.
Sounds like what basically every multinational company does:
Charge excessive licensing fees to their local subsidiaries to reduce/eliminate the profit in the subsidiary, while increasing profit in a lower-tax country, where the licence fee is paid to (the latter, notional headquarters, often artificially located away from where the real/physical headquarters are).
10 got a shit tonne of value for their $400k, whether or not it was inflated.
Wonder what Ten would have been paying if they really didn’t want the CBS logo? My best guess would be a lot more.
It wouldn’t have even been an option is what I’m saying.
Ten gets what their owners tell them they get, that is the point.
i would say 10 has gone into recovery mode. and has given win a dirty feed , hence the fixed blue round win logo
WWOS watermark overlaps with the HD bug during first segment of NRL coverage tonight.
It’s fixed now.
WIN were receiving a dirty feed at that time - complete with 10’s promo watermark with just an SD picture.
The circle WIN covers up the 10 logo in that case.
you can tell when 10 does go into recovery mode the feed looks awful
I actually don’t mind the look of the round WIN logo. Would far prefer that to be their permanent on screen logo rather than the map
I dunno man. There are times where I’ve forgotten which country I’m in and it’s really come in handy.
