I was at the AFL match between Hawthorn and Collingwood at the MCG this afternoon (what a thrilling game it was!), and the live feed from Seven for the TVs and the big screens around the stadium still used the Live & Free watermark with the Olympic rings underneath the 7. It should change when the finals start in two weeks’ time.

I’ve never seen an in program watermark top right before. Must be a new idea. Usually it’s bottom right next to the network logo.

They were using the promo watermarks under the logo last night.

I think it might be a Hot Seat-specific thing. Afterall, if the promotional watermark was in the usual position it would intrude with Hot Seat’s graphics.

Having the Above watermark in place means that Seven’s regional network don’t have their usual regional IDs on the main channel watermarks.

Since the Seven Queensland regional network currently doesn’t broadcast 7mateHD (or to be more precise, currently doesn’t broadcast the channel in MPEG4 HD), why don’t they just put the location name underneath the logo where the “HD” would otherwise be?
Is that on satellite or cable?
just in response to Hot Seat, I’ve noticed recently Nine NNSW is running its own feed of the show, obviously to cut out 9 News L3s that pop up on screen.
It’s simple to see Nine NNSW is running it as their classification notifications are much bigger than metro and the logo doesn’t fly in and animate from ad breaks.

TEN HD in disaster recovery mode (or so it appears)
This continued into Australian Survivor, albeit without the ‘HD’ in the watermark. The standard watermark returned after the second or third ad break.
Also: the channels of Seven, post-Olympics

I think the bailiff’s reaction in that cap is about the same as many members here would’ve had when they saw Ten’s latest In-Program Promotional Watermark!

Yes, because a fictional creature is now dead. Tacky.
