The Nine Network is a major Australian commercial free-to-air television network, that is a division of Nine with headquarters in Willoughby, a suburb located on the North Shore of Sydney, Australia. The Nine Network is one of three main free-to-air commercial networks in Australia.
National Television Network
1959–1967
In 1959, GTV-9 Melbourne and TCN-9 Sydney came together to form The National Television Network alongside newly-opened stations QTQ-9 Brisbane and NWS-9 Adelaide. Before this TCN-9 was affiliated with HSV-7 Melbourne while GTV-9's sister affiliate was ATN-7 Sydney.
National Nine Network
1967–1968
The National Television Network was renamed "The National Nine Network" around 1967. STW-9 Perth was not included in the affiliation, remaining independent until 1978.
1968–1970
1970–2006
Brian Sadgrove designed the National Nine Network's iconic, long-running logo that debuted on 9 July 1970 for black and white broadcasts (in its first few years), as this logo was in white. This logo consists of a number 9 beside the nine dots arranged in a 3x3 grid.
When the network began colour transmissions between 1974 and 1975, the text "LIVING COLOR" (the American spelling of "colour") was placed underneath. Two different variants were used, one of which separated the dots and the numeral slightly as seen in the logo above. Perth station STW-9 would carry this logo in 1978.
This logo continued to be used on selected material along with the next logo until 29 January 2006.
Nine Network
The network officially became the "Nine Network" in mid-1988. The network name alternated as "Nine Network Australia" until 1991. The "National Nine Network" name would continue in some form until 2008.
2001–2006
In 2000, German design agency Velvet Mediendesign redesigned the logo to make the nine dots a bit smaller and to have a modified number 9, including a bunch of new on-air graphics. The logo debuted on 1 January 2001 to coincide with the introduction of digital TV in Australia.
2006–2008
On 30 January 2006, the Nine Network (as well as its affiliates) underwent a rebrand in honour of the network's 50th anniversary. The nine dots were removed for the second time since 1988. This logo has a blue square and inside it is the redesigned number 9 with a few rounded corners being removed. The graphics package used during that time was designed by design agency Bruce Dunlop Associates (now known as BDA Creative).
On 15 January 2007 the logo became 2D. Just 5 months later, the nine dots were relaunched and they are visible on every second surface of the box.
2008–present
On 14 January 2008 as part of a relaunch, the network added the nine dots back into the logo after a 2-year absence. The slogan used with this logo was "we♥TV", which had also been used in December 2007 with the previous logo. These dots are now a bit larger while the number 9 from the previous logo was maintained.
Unfortunately, due to affiliation disagreements, the Perth and Adelaide stations under WIN ownership did not have the nine dots until March 2010.
