1 News NZ

1News appeared to have a meltdown at 6pm again. Just switched over and Kiwi Living was on, before the bulletin started at 9 past.

There was no opener, straight into a shot of the desk.

Simon reading alongside Miriama, who I can’t recall reading for a long time.

Using the Seven Sharp side of the studio, something must have happened between Te Karere and 6 as Te Karere went to air as normal

Horrific horrific news.

Extremely sad and shocked. Thoughts are with his family and the 1 News team right now.

sad, sad news, I’m in genuine shock!!

Shit. Awful news

RIP. Enormous loss. Can’t imagine what his colleagues are going through (and his family of course)- hard to watch their tributes.

Very sad and i feel for his family and wider family in the newsroom

For historical purposes here is how each network covered the sad news.

Very sad watching the tribute on 1News tonight.

Such a great loss as I really liked Greg as a newsreader especially his comments at the end of some stories which gave me a laugh. I was hoping he would replace Peter Williams on the weekend news when he retires at the end of the year.

Same here. A consummate broadcaster who would have taken on that role with aplomb. What a loss.

Depression is such an awful awful thing.

It is some can work their way though this point in life but others find it harder.

This story may be bringing up things for you or others, I would like to remind people that Media Spy has a thread with Australian and NZ contact lines for those who feel they need to contact an outside source from help or think anyone they know might need it.

The thread can be found below.

No doubt. And great idea to share the numbers/links, Grady.
