Readers with good memories may remember how radio station 2UE blurred rival 2GB’s logo out of a picture on its website.
Well, it seems Channel Seven has taken a leaf out of Fairfax Radio’s books and done the same thing to its major rival, Channel Nine.
The media blackout happened in Melbourne during the rival network’s coverage of the Victorian Elections, when Nine’s reporter Seb Costello squeezed in front of his Seven rival to get a chat with victorious candidate and new Premier Daniel Andrews’ dad.
Now you see it: The Nine logo is clearly visible on its own coverage

Now you don’t: The Nine logo has mysteriously disappeared on the Channel Seven coverage
However, the Nine logo was then blurred out when the interview was used as the lead story on Seven’s Sunday night news bulletin.
Although if you look closely at the footage at the very end of this clip the Nine logo can still be seen on the back of the mic.
This morning a spokesman for Seven said: “A mistake was made in the production process.”
