As we now know (previous posts and wikipedia), 9 Gold was the Indian venture 2000 – 2003. This will not be what the 2nd SD becomes. Will place money on that! The branding will most likely be a variation on what they do now.

“E9″ comes to mind for the channel – E for Entertainment, and can still fill the same space the 9 dots do. And the 6pm news on this channel can be Entertainment Tonight!

Whatever it is, i hope they dont replace another HD channel for their new channel like what Channel ten did, What’s the point of having a HD channel if i cant watch my shows in HD, Please Channel nine dont replace 9HD for anything!

Highly unlikely, Paul: a quick WhoIs search turned up that ninegold.com.au is owned by a Richmond, Victoria-based online marketing business called Zebra Vision Pty Ltd.

David, lets ask the Nine advertisers. We now know it all about them so I am sure they have been briefed.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the domain name ninegold.com.au

One HD and g-OLD…..I’m feeling underwhelmed…
At least this will only be on 9′s second SD channel. I hope.

As for a Nine’s new network-based channel, it will be nice for it to screen some of the classics like Sale Of The Century, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, All Together Now, McLeods Daughters, Water Rats, Stingers, Bert’s Family Feud, Don Lane’s Show, “classic episodes” of “Hey Hey”, Price is Right, Footy Show (both AFL & NRL versions), IMT, Funniest Home Videos etc and for US content: “classic episodes” of “Home Improvement”, Frasier, The Nanny, Seinfeld, The George Lopez Show, Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, Full House, classics from Warner Bros. etc.

The new channel is will turn into a “111 Hits Channel”-styled FTA Channel, but it will have no commercial breaks (the same does 7HD)

It isn’t nearly as interesting as you think. It’s for charity

Perhaps they are expecting a Nine personality to nab the Gold Logie this year.
