Channel 9 Still The One (Personalities from a gone by era.) (ABC from USA Rip off)

- Опубликовано: 17 сен 2024
- This extended Indent, shown on Channel 9 Australia, from 1978 starts off with many Channel 9 Personalities from over the years, too many to name but i do remember the majority of them. The rest of it is a combination of Aussie and American people and scenes. A LOT of the stuff is a direct copy of the USA Version. It even has part of an American Penny in it. (we don't use those here). The same lady knitting a jumper (sweater), The runners with the numbers on their tops, the Still the one blind being shut and the list goes on.
You can compare this with the USA Version shown at the youtube page... • Video
Thanks once again to George Field for providing this to me to upload
I was the Promo Producer at TCN 9 who put the original campaign together for Australia. It was a follow-on from the 1977 "Let Us Be The One" campaign, which brought new animation to tv logos. We did indeed licence the song and versioning from ABC USA (originally from the group Orleans in 1976) getting Bob Abel to do our animations. Nine then re-wrote it and re-recorded it using Australian talent - Geoff Harvey was our music director, with a full studio orchestra. We then went and filmed all over Sydney - the version you are looking at here is NOT the original version transmitted by and made by TCN. Nothing like ! We filmed in 16mm Eastman neg II, and made sure our promo had full cinematic quality, transferring direct from our Rank Cintel telecine. The version shown here is a copy of a copy and with clunky montage at the front, and some quick and dirty editing, (I mean, they've cut out the riff and the key change turning point, for crying out loud). It's not at all the way the original went nor at the quality I would demand. Sam Chisholm, boss of the Nine Network, wanted a new look and pushed me in Sydney, and Melbourne promos, to come up with something within a certain time frame. We at TCN delivered on time, and so GTV had to use our product until they could finalise something for themselves. They didn't like the Sydney references, and that is understandable, nor did they take our on-screen talent. My original network version has shots of surfing, helicopter shots of Sydney, the harbour and bridge, billboards, different people, aerial shots of cars forming the NINE logo, flying over the TCN tower etc. But we DID use USA footage as a base - the knitting and the blind, the champagne bottle and the "1" montage, for example, were edited in. In addition, this was just a prelude to a complete campaign. This was just the intro into what was a 40 minute program put together highlighting our shows and upcoming progs, which was originally meant to only be shown to clients and agencies, but which the management liked enough to put on air as a special event program in its own right. That included a lot more editing of shows, to include Paul Hogan, Mike Willesee, Mike Walsh, and all the talent that came out of TCN in Sydney, along with the series and programs that completed the Nine stable. The campaign included 15-sec idents, radio music spots and a complete revamp of the TCN and Nine network idents at the time, both onscreen and print. Can I also make a public callout to Brian Phillis who was a great director and guiding hand in the edit. He taught me so much. Lew Griffith who was a crazy good video editor, Peter Cox who made the telecine shine, audio king Max Harding, and the late Sam Chisholm the big boss who believed we could do it - and pushed us to do better. It was such a fun time in TV and to be working with great creative minds.
Sir, I may not have posted the video, but I LIVE for info like this. Thanks for the low down!
Do you have the original footage?
Hi Peter, I remember seeing these promos on GTV9, Melbourne and it was such a breath of "Fresh Air" seeing a change of direction "punchy & powerful".Thank you for all the time & effort you & your team went into putting this together ! As an avid TV (and Channel 9 viewer) I really appreciate it :)
Thank you, such a wealth of knowledge. I have always liked channel 9’s station id’s. They don’t make them like this anymore.
Thanks Peter for that wonderful information. Channel 9 had some great promos. Do you have any copies of that 40 minute program or any original/copies of better Quality of this or any other promos? I would love to see them My youtube channel has many other Idents, Most were provided by George Fields who was a video tape genius from HSV 7. I am interested in any vintage tv . Great work Peter and your talented team at TCN9
When Television was part of your life. Not just news and crappy reality shows as they are now. Sad :(

I am So Sick of people using the term "Ripoff" when it comes to Foreign Networks using American ad campaigns (and I'm American). Nine *LICENSED* it; they paid for the rights to do it in their own way with their own singers. Just like how the Seven Network PAID to use some of NBC's ads and Ten PAID to use some of CBS's stuff back then (which is ironic because CBS outright Owns Ten now). Nothing is being stolen here, it's a common business practice. Hopefully that sets things straight.
IKR
You're right it's not a ripoff. I actually think it's pretty cool.
Those who upload these are mostly kids, dont worry.
That's all well and good., but why can't they come up with their own stuff.
Here in Brazil, the broadcaster SBT Copied (I Don't Know If They Had License) Idents From ABC (America Is Hatching ABC- Brazil Linked Here To SBT), HBO (HBO Ident 1984)
The Nine Network Slogan Is Back In 2021!
Could have easily been done by a United States ABC affiliate that happened to be on Channel 9. (KMSP, KCRG, KBTV, KMBC, WSOC, etc.)
Except that KCRG used "TV" instead of "Channel".
Too bad they didn't think of it!
it's kinda ironic if KMSP used the branding, despite being a flop due to very low ratings over the recent years at that time lol
@@itseventuallymekenty ABC was seeking a new affiliate in the Twin Cities and found it with KSTP. KMSP became more successful as an independent.
They kept it faithful to The Orleans original.
I'm sure Orleans have enjoyed the trips to the bank over the years
On 60 Minutes (CBS, I saw this promo, thev YOU AND ME promo, and We've Got the Touch promo from 9 Nerwork Australia.
Some scenes from ABC 1977

Change the title. It’s not stolen. It was licensed!
This was NOT stolen by 9 Ausstralia but paid for and licensed by them from ABC in the USA. You can tell from certain images used, including the USA coin and US $1 bill for pictures of One (1) for the "Still the one" reference.
This was done just like Seven licensed NBC's bumpers and promotional content for Be there, Come home etc.
At 00:22, Wasn't Bob and Dolly Dyer's Pick a Box an ATN7 production and not a Channel 9 show!?
League Legend In the early years of Australian TV, ATN-7 Sydney was actually affiliated with GTV-9 Melbourne, and that led to GTV-9 airing Pick a Box in Melbourne until the station started affiliation with TCN-9, after which the show aired on HSV-7 for the remainder of its run.
@@tassportslover2013 So that why GTV-9 Melbourne chose DeWolfe Music's "Fast Action" as its news theme in the late 1970s (primarily because of its affiliation with ATN-7 Sydney).
well, not rip off. ABC licenced it to them, and whereas ABC dropped it by like two years later nine network used the same slogan up UNTIL 2005 lmaoo

Thanks Daniel.. I will correct the info.. Much Appreciated.
Daniel can you ansser Chevyxwon's question above, regarding what cities this was shown in please?
1:47 Logo
0:18 wtf
There are about 4 frames on there.. which one?
@@dontv3192 The second/third one... probably not too unusual though if it's from the 70s
@@NunoLava The black face frame. That most likely would be from the 60's or early 70's on a show called "IMT" In Melbourne Tonight. It was a comedy "Tonight" show, starring Graham Kennedy. Featuring there Rosie Sturgess and Joff Ellen. You are right it was not unusual in that era.
No, Don't not say WTF is prohibited!
what city was this shown in
I know it was shown in Melbourne. Im sure Daniel Hopmans will tell us more info. He has a wealth of knowledge.
This jingle was seen in every major city across the network.
Thanks Daniel.. i knew you would know :)
You're welcome. Look forward to more uploads.
