Delusions of grandeur. Hence "Australia's largest commercial television network" and the insistence on making it look as though they produce everything they put to air by obsessively concealing all Nine logos.

I agree with changing the name of 9 Perth instead of just trying to remove the dots. I would prefer 9 Perth being called just STW, using the same font and look as WIN. Calling the station STW would help promote the station as local also, reverting back to the old Swan Television brand.

If you're waiting for the day the Nine Network comes up with something daring and original to promote themselves, don't expect it to come anytime soon. The nauseating unoriginality Nine has exhibited since the death of Kerry Packer is set to continue unabated in 2010.

Five years after Seven introduced the "Gottaloveit" campaign and hot on the heels of the Nine's use of the Black Eyed Pea’s track “I Gotta Feeling” in the weeks old "Welcome Home" campaign, the boffins in Nine's promotions department have decided "Gotta Have" should be their catch cry in 2010. After the failures of 2009 Nine should be pretty clear on what their audience don't "Gotta Have". It will be interesting to see the extensive list of titles Nine will apply this line to. Something tells me endless repeats of "Two and a Half Men" will be a big part of the list.

After hearing this news on the grapevine today, I'm pretty sure I Gotta Have a double dose of Mylanta to settle my stomach.

Gotta Have Nine? They want to change slogans AGAIN next year?

It occurs to me they may use it to promote Go! In any event, whichever Nine channel ends up with "Gotta Have" it displays an appalling lack of originality.

WTF? A monkey could come up with something better than that.

So as if We <3 TV wasn't a bit close to Gottaloveit, Now they're going with 'GottaHave' ?

Christ


This just in: 3.2 magnitude earthquake just hit Australia. Epicentre is Kerry Packer's grave.

In the 2nd half of 2010 they will be using 'Very Seriously :::9'

They are paying peanuts these days compared to what they used to pay...

Ryan, "Gotta Have" is two words... give 'em some credit... they didn't completely rip off Seven.

Perhaps they got their inspiration from Westy in the newsroom... "Gotta have f$@#ability". All Nine's reality shows were certainly populated with pretty young things this year.

'Gotta Have' is being used as a title for some advertorial segments on Go!, currently with someone with a horribly irritating voice doing some PSP Go promotions. Think attempt at being a youth brand-power and add a bucket of cringe.

This might have been mentioned before, but I've noticed that when they come back to networked content (like Today) from an ad break on Nine HD in Perth, the audio cuts out for a fraction of a second. Every time.

The Nine watermark seems to have been toned down - not as bright now.

[Mike]

Looks the same to me.

Do Nine and 9HD still have separate branding?

Does 9HD still do their own IDs, lineups, promos, after break return graphic etc since Go! launched and Nine became a 24 SD simmulcast of 9HD?

I think you just answered your own question there, KICK-IT.

[Brad]

Yeah Nine and Nine HD are exactly the same presentation wise. Nine HD only ever had its own graphics when doing break-away programming from 9SD.

Thanks guys.
Expect the same for 7HD then

[Aurora]

The only differences on 9HD now is the watermark, while the same as Nine Digital, has HIGH-DEF only below the numeral, the audio streams and the obvious picture quality differences.

But the same can be said about 7 using the slogan "It's Time" for 7TWO.. which is a rip-off of Labors 1972 election campaign http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_Time
