TiBB Gem was a online television network owned by ThisisBigBrother.com. It was launched on 20 August 2017 just days before the final of Celebrity Big Brother 20. It closed on 13 April 2019 at midnight, just hours before TMIX relaunched. TiBB Gem focused on movies, select TV shows geared towards women, and sporting events (such as the AFL Grand Final).
History[]
The idea of TiBB Gem came up in June 2017, when TiBB Networks announced a network specifically for movies, then on 19 August 2017 (the day before launch); the channel was officially announced with the additional types of programming. TiBB Gem's look is a look of its own, with elements based off of the current graphic design that 9Gem has had since its launch (with some tweaks in November 2015). TiBB Gem (like TiBB Go!) uses the classification warning slides.
It was announced on 19 January 2018 that all of TiBB Networks would get a new main logo (using the eye logo indicator from TiBB News); which was to debut on TiBB News Tonight on 21 January 2018, and be first used on the date of the voting results of the TiBB Eurovision Song Contest 2018, 5 May 2018; but due to all of the TiBB1 regions praising the new look, the rebrand happened on 20 January 2018.
The rebrand of TiBB Networks was modified on 8 May 2018, to become more in-line with the new look of TiBB News and the TiBB News Channel; with the new TEGNA-style graphics and music on all channels.
Another rebrand happened in September 2018, with the whole of TiBB Networks getting looks similar to the ones for the networks of France Télévisions.
