The Nine Guide features a twenty-four hour television guide for programming on Channel Nine. The channel also provides an updated television schedule for Channel Nine's programming, including information for the availability of native high-definition and ratings classifiction. Realtime weather information is also available for select Australian and New Zealand cities.
A live video preview of Channel Nine is available on the Nine Guide. The live video preview is also accompanied by a Now On and Coming Up television guide.
The Nine Guide advertises new and high rating television programs from Channel Nine via a small billboard loop. The advertising contains program information and broadcast times, that are modified for different timezones and state-based programming.
The Nine Guides' onair look has been changed several times since August 2001 when the channel launched. The channel initially had a blue colour scheme with white text, and a smaller 16:9 ratio preview of Channel Nine.
A few years later, the Nine Guide had a revamp of it's onair presentation. The design had a daily colour scheme, alternating every twenty-four hours. The channel featured a similar sized 16:9 ratio preview of Channel Nine, and a National Nine News and weather slide at the top. On January 30, 2006 coinciding with the relaunch of Channel Nine's new logo and revamp on its on-air identity, the guide revamped with a new look and a larger 16:9 ratio preview of Channel Nine.
The current onair identity of the Nine Guide launched on January 21, 2007 coinciding with the revamp of Channel Nine's branding of its on-air identity. The guide now features a similar sized 16:9 ratio preview of Channel Nine.
