And do what, go live on a beach in Bermuda?
Oh wait, he already lives in Bermuda.
Ten is currently running an In-Program Promotional “Watermark” for Finals Week on MasterChef Australia in rotation with the “very lovely” (no…it’s actually even worse) one for Australia Survivor which was posted earlier in this thread:
Watermark changed during Wimbledon final
Earlier
Currently, no HD
Time to call the HD police.
Edit: It’s back.
Trivia: the scoreboard for NSL on C7 (first screencap) was later adapted as the scoreboard for telecast of international hockey tournaments like Champions Trophy for more than a decade. It was finally replaced in around 2015.
Sadly nothing new. It’s been like that in WA for almost a year now. Comes on during commercials, goes away during programming. Every day. Almost a year.
Meanwhile in North QLD, we’ve still never had a HD bug from WIN since the affiliation swap last year!
How is this pointless? Wouldn’t you want to celebrate 100 days until a major sporting event in Australia, particularly one that will probably generate big ratings for the network at a time when things are looking dull?
No it’s a stain on your television.
Well that’s a funny way to look at it
Nothing funny about visual pollution.
I don’t really like any In-Program Promotional Watermarks, but it’s not that bad compared to some of the solid full coloured eyesores from Nine and Ten we’ve had to put up with lately!
Ratings wise, it probably goes without saying that Seven would be hoping that the coverage of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup boosts their ratings - especially in the rugby league mad markets of Sydney and Brisbane.
It’s unnecessary, especially at this time.
The RLWC watermark is not pointless, it is a timely remainder. Slightly off topic, Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga visited Melbourne today to mark the occasion and to launch the tournament’s volunteer uniform.
