I’ve got to say Melissa Stokes is soo natural on breakfast I just can’t understand how hayley holt has got the job on TVNZ breakfast no charisma at all
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.

Lucky TVNZ getting Reuters our Newshub Reuters line is unusable 90% of the time due to the position of the dish
Wow. Weird. Would have thought it’d be all FTP/web now?
They offer them as a package i think, one LIVE news feed and access to online content after live feeds

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?

I’d rather midday and tonight used brand music myself, and for Daniel Faitaua to wear a tie too
I thought you’d like the remixes? 
Surely it depends on the tie?
Personally I find without ties they look rather scruffy then again I don’t like the breakfast boys attire either lol
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?
