Lest we forget the “colour ups”

Didn’t WIN at one stage put a whopping bar across the screen to cover everything?

Holy crap, I remember that. Don’t have caps unfortunately. News tickers weren’t for us simple country plebs.

Ahh, but they already realised this and faded in a cover-up half the size every time the weather segment went to air, to not obscure the Hobart temps. I capped this when they were snoozing and were a bit late in changing the graphics. This was the time when WIN’s treatment of the Nine broadcast was at its worst.

The sound of what Harry was doing in that scene of Dumb & Dumber is pretty much what I was thinking when I saw this logo.

No wonder we all jumped for joy when WIN lost the nine affiliation… People complain about a dirty feed but come on those cover ups were cringe worthy…

WTF?
WIN actually used to cover up the entire bottom of the screen??
What purpose does that possibly serve?
I had forgotten about these. How long did they last?
Doesn’t anyone have a PRG with these coloured WIN multichannel watermarks?

Also this one from Nine HD breakaway programming from STW-9 when WIN owned STW

It lasted until GO!'s relaunch in 2014, while it took until October 2015 for WIN to drop the coverup for GEM.
That is beyond hideous!
My God WIN absolutely were the worst in the mid-2000s. I still can’t believe how spiteful that TODAY bar was - actively trying to sabotage the experience of the viewer to anger Nine was pettiness like no other.

The relationship between Nine and WIN really went downhill after Kerry Packer died.
