Simons delivery was Idk how to explain it but very somber. Shows how hard it’s hit the 1 News family.
Took me a while years and years back to get into Greg but he turned out one of my favourites. Loved his one liners and sarcasm. Sad loss. Respect to his friends family and colleagues.
I’m not posting this to cause any drama and in no way is it meant to come across as racist. But I feel TVNZ news in particular Breakfast are really shoving te reo in our face. Sure it’s a national language to celebrate but after seeing breakfast quite a bit the past two weeks it’s as if they have a quota on how many maori words to say and tbh it’s just too much. Comes across as forced and very PC.
And their Noel Leeming give away is yesterday came across as staged and fake lol
Marama T-Pole has been doing a lot of presenting across all the bulletins for the last month or so. Her reading style certainly isn’t perfect but I’d love for her to keep filling in to refine hiccups here & there.
T-Pole has been on Tonight the whole week, with Melissa Stokes is on Breakfast. Daniel is filling in for Jack, who is on hols. I’ll take a bet that Stokes will replace Peter Williams on the weekend news come next year, with T-Pole on Tonight.
Not a huge fan of Marama myself. Would rather see Jenny Suo take over Tonight. Agree with Melissa taking over 6 weekends.
As well as Daniel moving over from the news chair to hosting on Breakfast, Matty McLean has been doing double duty, his usual weather on BF and hosting SevenSharp with Jeremy away. Matt Gibb did weather one day this week though I understand.
