Nine flashes back to ’80s ident “Still the One”
Video: Nine gets into the 1980s mood tonight for its retro-special, even airing old station IDs today.

Nine has gone all out for its Amazing 80s special tonight, with an 80s-style Big Brother episode (that’s one major cross-promo) but more amusingly has dug into the archives to run an old Channel Nine ident.
Ahh there were some classics.
That music makes me very sentimental…. what time is Bert on?
As you can see they’ve also had to adjust the clip to fit a 16×9 frame.
Tonight’s doco is a mix of National Geographic plus Nine original interviews.

David, where can I watch these episodes again of the Amazing 80s?
Not avail.
The topic of this show is sadly indicative of the mindset of Nine, i.e. still in the 80s.
Nothing on this network is worth watching.
It was great to see that old channel 9 ident again. It was a time when the station had much more of a showbiz feel about it than what it does today.
At the very end of the ident on the last musical sting, our family sitting around the TV watching it used to sing out loud the words “Young Talent Time” haha. Even though YTT was on Ten we used to think that was hilarious to sing out loud. Brought back great memories seeing that again.
damn!! i missed it i didnt even know this was on i hope this is getting repeated
I love it!
Please tell me they’re going to repeat this. My PVR didn’t record it. =(
Ten did the same during the first weeks of Life of Mars a few years back
TEN logo livin in the 70s.
This looks very similar to “The 80s – The Decade That Made Us” which I rather enjoyed recently. If it is I hope Channel 9 doesn’t edit out the Rob Lowe narration.
That was a good idea. There are some bright sparks left down there.
I wonder what WIN, NBN & Imparja did for this? Dots on WIN?
Old farts like me remember this
I hope they repeat it tonight before or during the show itself!
A pity the Nine Promos Dept seemingly ripped their old idents them Youtube. Surely a phonecall to their Archives Dept would have seen them use broadcast quality copies?
Really looking forward to this show, should bring back many memories. The 80’s is when I had just left school and was just starting life as an adult.
I was wondering if this had anything to do with the National Geographic series. Not sure if it will be as good but will give it a try.
I saw it this afternoon and thought someone had pushed the wrong button. Was interesting to see 🙂
