Nine (WIN)

Currently not getting any sound on the WIN Network Channel (LCN 53 here in Newcastle).

Are other WIN regions on 53 or LCN 83 not getting sound either?

There is sound on LCN 83 in Western Victoria.

Sounds like an improvement

Perhaps they could do a 9Life and have a 6hr schedule:

12am-12pm: repeat of previous 6hrs
12pm-12am: new schedule

An easy way to create a new channel, with half the effort.

Bruce Gordon will be getting excited that 83 is getting some viewers today. There would have been a Mediaspy induced viewer spike last week too when the picture failed and it was heavily discussed here.

Nothing else on? Annabel Crabb’s interview with The Australian today is worth listening to.

Was in a Harvey Norman store today looking at TVs and noticed some genius who works there had set all of their nice big 4K TVs to WIN One.

Not only did the shitty WIN quality SD make all of the TVs in the store look terribly blurry, but the massive green logo in the corner was just completely blurry and barely readable (not to mention massive on those big screens).

Can’t see anyone buying any of them in that state

How is it different from the previous one?

They added the HD

Ah. Didn’t know it wasn’t there before. I’m not in WIN territory

Not happening in Tasmania

Interestingly I believe it has often been like that in the eastern states, certainly Queensland has always had the HD add on (inconsistently) since earlier in the year.

Yeah, the HD in the logo been on and off in SNSW all year.

More like NOT entertaining Australia :stuck_out_tongue:

Not in regional SA as well.

Um is WIN not putting start times on ads for it’s own programs? I just saw an ad for Googlebox that just simply said, “Googlebox on WIN” without any indication as to when it airs.

Probably deliberate as a promo that doesn’t include a broadcast time doesn’t count towards non-program material according to the Commercial TV Code of Practice. You will see other networks do something similar, then after a fade to black, they will usually come back with a 2-sec promo that includes the broadcast time.

Only the southern part of QLD.

I’ve still never seen the HD watermark add-on shown at all on WIN HD in North QLD. Similarly anytime I’ve visited Mackay this year the HD hasn’t been present there either.
