Hi Folks,
Well, it seems that the following change took effect on the 1st July 2021. You can now view your favourite Channel 9 programs back on the WIN channels.
I found the following article and think it will be of interest to TV viewers on the Sunshine Coast. It means that in the future the Channel 9 Programs will return to being viewed on the WIN channels 8, 80, 88. No timetable as to when this will occur but I will post when we get the date.
Cheers Phil
Channel Nine Programs To Return To WIN In New Affiliate Deal.
“Media billionaire Bruce Gordon will continue his push for a Nine Entertainment Co board seat after securing rights to air its programming in regional markets, in a move that triggered a steep fall in the share price of current affiliate Southern Cross Media.”
“Mr Gordon is Nine’s largest shareholder with a 14.94 per cent stake held in his investment vehicle Birketu. The deal will allow Mr Gordon’s WIN Corp network to broadcast programs such as Married at First Sight and The Block in regional markets. But the news hit shares in Nine’s existing regional broadcast partner Southern Cross Media Group, which closed 10 per cent lower at $1.97.”
