Its not much, but then again it is for children, its a nice introduction to the lissajous for kids, and I do like the dropped ‘c’ in the logo.
Maybe one day it will be its own dedicated channel again.

This weeks lesson: cross promotions
It was the longest lesson ever this week breaking 5 minutes, and easily one of the funniest too. The three weeks off seem to have done the Chaser guys well.
If you missed it, here is part one, two, three, four, five and six.

The first video is the current opener for Andrew Denton’s Enough Rope, the second video was captured in July last year, I’m not exactly sure how many times they’ve changed it, but I feel its more then just these two.

This is another of the BBC brand promos, the first one was about the liberation of Kabul, the second one was about Ricky Gervais and this one is about a BBC cameraman in Iraq.
In related news, MySpace has attacked the BBC for their plans and now the ABC is asking your opinion about their own news site.

Speaking of the BBC, a lot seems to be happening at the moment, including a proposal to introduce advertising on its international news site, the launch of a competition to redesign its homepage and the MySpacing of the whole beeb… Web 2.0 meets public broadcaster, cool.

This video is a few weeks old now, but I so rarely see promo’s for Rage I thought I’d share.
The song in the promo is Hope There’s Someone by Antony and the Johnsons.
Speaking of ‘songs in promos’, Triple J have been promoting the crap out of Gnarls Barkley this week, they say they’re the only place in the world with the album and Myf Warhurst will be playing the entire thing back to back from noon today (as in right now).

I know there is a heap of these new ABC idents I haven’t posted, but I really like this one, its better then a lot of the other frisbee-throwing, couch-sitting ones on air.
In ABC related news, Crikey is reporting that the ABC could be getting ready to license some of its content to a “third party website”, my first thought was iTunes (awesome!), but the article goes on to explain that “the license fee based on advertising revenue”, which would mean the repackaged content would come with some sort of advertising (not so awesome), and doesn’t sound like something that would happen on iTunes.
