Ashes yeah? Why is it on the left and not the right (where Sky’s is naturally?)
so there’s more to the win v nine war than we thought

Don’t see why, transparent is what you want as a viewer. It is just not a clean feed, that is the problem there.

very dodgy WIN Sport coverup from 2006 - you can even see the 9 logo underneath!

Do you know the date that match aired? Honestly, that watermark would have been their best one and I never knew about it until a week ago. It must have only existed for a short period after the Jan 2006 relaunch.

I don’t have the exact ones, but closest caps from my archives.
Found this as well, from when ABC first went 720p…

Wasn’t it around the time when WIN changed the watermark from mappy to the rectangle WIN logo? I know at the time the coverups were changing frequently. I don’t have any caps but I remember the one with a more 3D look before they changed it to a flat 2D logo.

Meanwhile, what looks to be an Imparja coverup (if not a really odd watermark), possibly for sport: Something you don't see anymore in rugby league, the wall which was us... | Rugby league | TikTok

Believe it or not that was their 24x7 watermark! They did have separate sports ones though, so this program might have been just sports related.

It could have been. From my collection I can see they went from transparent grey mappy → small box (3D) → large box (2D), so this transparent sports watermark could have been used during the small box era because it looks square and detailed.

Given they were streaming only and didn’t have “linear” channels (unlike say Optus Sport 1, 2, etc. on Fetch), why did they have Spark Sport 1, 2, etc.?
An odd time in WIN history

Great finds. I also didn’t know WIN or Imparja had such odd coverups.
