I started noticing this when I first caught an Aussie promo for 90210 which was airing at the time on Network Ten. At first I thought i was cool they're doing that since it sounds very sexy and provocative with the way their voices are being altered.
But when I started watching a couple of AU shows and watched promos of them, that's when I noticed the pattern which kinda annoyed me a bit because it doesn't seem like competing networks don't want to differentiate themselves with each other. They're essentially using the same effect for voicing their own commercials that make them all sound generic as time goes on.
Upcoming FOX8 return/premiere dates for the other Australians:
April: The Carbonaro Effect Season 2 begins April 3 Reign Season 2 begins April 14 Beauty And The Beast Season 2 begins April 21 Atlantis Season 2 begins April 26 Hart of Dixie season 4 begins April 30 Australia's Next Top Model Cycle 9 begins April 30
May: Fresh Off The Boat Season 1 begins May 10. The Messengers Season 1 Arrow Season 2 Switched At Birth Season 3
FOX8 airs a rerun. Due to contracts Channel Nine airs it first and FOX8 repeats the season about 6 months after Channel Nine finishes.
Unfortunately while FOX8 has expressed an interest in buying the rights from Channel Nine, they just wont budge. The same issue is holding up The Originals, Go! has the first air rights. FOX8 has the repeat rights but can't begin to air it until Go! does.
I suspect the same issue is going to hold up iZombie as Go! has the rights for it and hasn't announced a premiere date.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Mindblowing!!!!

ReplyDeleteThank U. A round 25! #slowlyDying
ReplyDeleteHow come the announcers always have their voices reverberate every time they announce a show's name in a promo in Australia?
ReplyDeleteYou're turning 25? And you think you're slowly dying? :\

ReplyDeleteNo baby here. I feel old. ^_^
ReplyDeleteIt's just a weird effect they do for some reason. I think they want to seem 'hip' and 'cool'.
ReplyDeleteSome channels use a guys voice and they also do it.
The only channels that don't are the ones Foxtel doesn't own (like the Disney Channel)
Happy Birthday~ :D
ReplyDeleteThank U.
ReplyDeletehappy birthday you're born on the same month and day as someone I know

And with dates TBA:
The Originals Season 2
so Australia viewers haven't started season 2 for Arrow or just finish season 2.......which mean we won't get season 3 teaser from them.
ReplyDeleteArrow 3 will come there probably as late as August or September like Season 2.

And yet Nine couldn't commit to airing those shows sooner as a sign that they still are interested in airing them long-term.
ReplyDeletethat sucks for Australia fans since they have to avoid spoiler at all course.......
ReplyDeleteso pretty much by the time season 3 is over in Australia season 4 is over here in NA......
ReplyDeleteYep.
