@OnAir TVNZ’s regular news and current affairs lineup returns next week (23 January) but can I ask, are you saying that Simon Dallow is out of the country?
Don’t know Paddy - but he is on his summer break so he might be! I was wondering whether it was possible he might be called in early given the magnitude of today’s news

Thanks, @OnAir. Until then, Daniel Faitaua has done a fantastic job over the summer - reading the 6pm news on most nights.
To me, Daniel is deservedly a popular and professional member of the New Zealand news media and, as always, is one of the most preferred newsreaders I have ever seen.

What’s the background meant to even be? Looks horrible. Is breakfast news anymore or just fluffy bits?

@Michael_Eccles Ryman Healthcare is sponsoring Breakfast this year. Meanwhile, BP has taken over from Mobil as sponsor of 1 NEWS’s sports bulletins.
Just saw this on Breakfast’s Facebook story. Doesn’t look like we will see any changes to the on screen graphics.

That background seems a little too striking for 6am in the morning.

Far too poppy
Why are they using two separate hosting positions and conversing between the two? God this is a mess.

The News graphics and lower thirds should change colour to match the theme of the background
