Was Jan 2007 IIRC when Ten got the CBS News deal. The good thing out of that was we got him in widescreen high definition and played on a regular basis with Ten.

Is it classic if it’s still in use?

You’d think Prime7 could have reduced the font size to fit in the full program name…

They normally use a “double decker” version for long titles. I think I have a cap of one somewhere…

Edit: Well they did with the previous package:

That looks MUCH better… two lines would have worked well also.

7 Sport watermark in 2012. Went back to top right after a year in 4:3 resolution at the bottom

I recall it being odd that it was down the bottom right in 2012, along with the new AFL graphics package they used in some form up until 2020.

Also in 2013, the “7 sport” logo did go back to the top right as it was also the year that the analog switch off was complete and finally all 4:3 safe watermarks and sports graphics disappeared forever.

The commercial networks need to take note of how to do promotional watermarks from SBS. Understated and disappears from the screen within five seconds.
