1News showing a Reuters track at midday. Don’t think I’ve seen them use their content before.
On another note, I think TVNZ no longer has BBC content but I can’t be sure. They still have access to Sport tracks but it’s been a while since I’ve seen BBC used in news.
Weirdly…tonight, 1News had a recap of the night’s top stories after the first break.
EDIT: I think that’s because John Campbell did a five minute live spot from the Chch vigil and a Sunday plug with Miriama Kamo. I reckon they’ve stopped an ad break tonight.
Off chance she may have read in her days at 3 but I can’t recall it.
Yeah it’s all fairly generic. Greg had a great taste and exposed me to some great tracks. It’s possible the new team decided to leave that because they couldn’t match it?
Scotty Morrison has been great with Hilary this morning.
I reckon he’s completely under-utilised by TVNZ. Woukd like to see him utilised at 6pm as a back up for Simon if John Campbell is unavailable.
Would love Campbell to take over. The audience is very familiar with his work and would likely be a smooth transition from Dann. Tame doesn’t seem ready for quite the senior role that Q&A is just yet.
If he did make the move from Breakfast, I’d be delighted though to have Daniel replace him and possibly Anna Burns-Francis vacate the newsreading role?
Yes agree with you on Greg Boyed @Woodpecker, doubt they will find anyone as well suited to the role as he was.
There are plently of capable journos at TVNZ who could host Q+A without having to shake up the Breakfast show … If they go with Jack Tame I think it’s probably more about a fresh start for Breakfast than not being able to find anyone better than him to host Q+A.
