This comes up fairly often as a topic, and I was going to reply to a post from WAtvVideos about WIN’s coverups during the Today show with some caps I had of my own, but wanted to find somewhere more suitable for them.
As a last resort, figured this could do with its own thread, for all the various attempts WIN made to cover up the Nine network branding.
I’ll start with a few of the captures I have that are my own work, not just sourced from here over the years,
Firstly with those Today show coverups, WIN didn’t have the tech to make the cube rotate on WIN HD, so it’s static there -
My favorite of the WWOS coverups was when WIN’s logo would be misaligned over Nine’s, and they would try and align it properly on a live feed. The record I recall is three separate attempts
Nine did use a circular cover-up prior to the ABC America contract lapsing. This consisted of a white, orb-like flare with the 2009–2012 “dotty” logo in the center, and it was used on The View, and presumably on Good Morning America and What Would You Do? as well.
STW, NWS, and WIN all used “dotless” variants during this period, before NWS and STW later readopted the “dotty” logo in the lead-up to regaining O&O status.
