Do not fill this in! === A new era in television (2014β2019) === Nine relaunched [[9HD]], in November 2015, an HD simulcast of their primary channel, on channel 90 and launched new lifestyle channel [[9Life]] on channel 94. In addition to the relaunch of 9HD, GEM (renamed [[9Gem]]) was reduced to standard definition and moved to channel 92 and GO! (renamed [[9Go!]]) was moved to channel 93.<ref>{{cite news|title = Nine to simulcast in HD, launches new lifestyle channel|publisher = NineMSN|date = 28 October 2015|url = http://www.9news.com.au/entertainment/2015/10/28/22/50/nine-to-launch-new-lifestyle-channel-and-broadcast-in-hd|access-date = 27 January 2016|first=Darren|last=Devlyn}}</ref><ref name="resurrectHD">{{cite web|first=Reilly|last=Claire|title=Nine Network to live stream all channels and revamp HD|url=https://www.cnet.com/au/news/nine-network-to-live-stream-all-channels-and-revamp-hd/|publisher=cnet.com.au|date=29 October 2015|access-date=27 January 2016}}</ref> On 16 December 2015, Nine also changed its on-air theme for a continuous design across all of its channels with the [[Nine News]]/9news.com.au branding to remain unchanged. This included a new look for program listings, program advertisements and promos. Additionally in November 2015, Hugh Marks replaced [[David Gyngell]] as CEO. On 27 January 2016, Nine's online catch-up video on-demand service 9Jumpin was retired and replaced by [[9Now]]. 9Now offers a range of content larger than 9Jumpin and also offers a live streaming service for Nine's multicast channels. Live streaming for Nine was launched on the same day, with streaming for [[9Gem]], [[9Go!]] and [[9Life]] launched on 19 May 2016. Following the launch of 9Now, the [[WIN Corporation]], owner of Nine affiliate [[WIN Television]], filed a lawsuit against Nine Entertainment Co., claiming that live streaming into regional areas breaches their affiliation agreement.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.smh.com.au/business/media-and-marketing/bruce-gordons-win-takes-nine-to-court-over-streaming-20160210-gmqjg1.html |title=Bruce Gordon's WIN takes Nine to court over streaming |last=Mason |first=Max |date=10 February 2016 |publisher=Sydney Morning Herald |access-date=29 April 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://mumbrella.com.au/win-takes-nine-to-court-over-live-streaming-345668 |title=WIN takes Nine to court to try and block its live streaming service 9Now in regional areas |last=Christensen |first=Nic |date=10 February 2016 |publisher=mUmBRELLA |access-date=29 April 2016}}</ref> The case was later dismissed on 28 April 2016 with Justice Hammerschlag of the NSW Supreme Court stating that, "I have concluded that live streaming is not broadcasting within the meaning of the PSA (program supply agreement), and that Nine is under no express or implied obligation not to do it."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-28/win-tv-loses-court-bid-over-program-streaming/7368206 |title=Regional broadcaster WIN loses bid to stop Channel Nine streaming programs |last=McDonald |first=Philippa |date=28 April 2016 |publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation |access-date=29 April 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Knox |first=David |date=28 April 2016 |title=Nine victory in 9NOW streaming lawsuit filed by WIN TV |url=http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2016/04/nine-victory-in-9now-streaming-lawsuit-filed-by-win-tv.html |access-date=29 April 2016 |publisher=TV Tonight}}</ref> Following their victory in the 9Now court case, Nine Entertainment Co. announced on 29 April 2016 that it had signed a $500 million five year affiliation deal with [[Southern Cross Austereo]], the then-primary regional affiliate of [[Network 10]].

However, despite being a Nine O&O, NBN News remains as an independent news bulletin, despite adopting the full Nine News on air look. In June 2018, it was announced that Nine would enter into a joint venture with [[Australian News Channel]] (ANC) to create ''[[Your Money (TV channel)|Your Money]]'', a [[business news]] channel that was replaced the [[Sky News Business Channel]] on [[Foxtel]] channel 601 and also available free-to-air through Nine on channel 95, replacing [[Extra (Australian TV channel)|Extra]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Marsh |first=Stuart |date=24 June 2018 |title=Nine announces new 24-hour business channel with ANC |url=https://finance.nine.com.au/2018/06/25/08/55/nine-announces-new-24-hour-business-channel-with-anc |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180625034028/https://finance.nine.com.au/2018/06/25/08/55/nine-announces-new-24-hour-business-channel-with-anc |archive-date=25 June 2018 |access-date=8 August 2018 |website=9Finance |publisher=Nine Entertainment Co}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://mumbrella.com.au/sky-business-rebrands-as-your-money-in-joint-venture-between-news-corp-and-nine-525240 |title=Sky Business rebrands as Your Money in joint venture between News Corp and Nine |last=Wallbank |first=Paul |date=25 June 2018 |website=Mumbrella |access-date=8 August 2018}}</ref> However, it closed on 17 May 2019 due to lack of advertising and poor ratings.
