Suspect it’s Paul Yurisich’s influence showing already.

It was great to see this during the news hour and hopefully they do it a bit more, but only if and when needed.
Was also nice to see it happen with the dumped anchor as she has been showing what her worth is ever since they demoted her.

Would like to see more of this style in the 6pm bulletins. Newshub has done it before too - most notably interviewing the Prime Minister live!

Wendy must be on radar for 2021 for other outlets to poach, she simply is the best since Judy as a solo presenter of a 6pm Bulletin.

This can probably go here…
TVNZ Duke seems to be airing ABC World News from America at around 5:30 weeknights. Just seen it in the guide. Not sure how long it’s been on for.

I really don’t understand TVNZ’s programming decisions of late, like Top Gear appearing on 1… Is it Covid related? Can’t they get enough content to go around three channels, or are they panicking as streaming grows in popularity?

From this week ABC World News Tonight (fresh off the satellite from the US) can be seen on TVNZ DUKE five nights a week, Monday to Friday, just after 5.15pm or before 5.30pm - subject to scheduling.

That’s not fresh it’s many hours old

Indeed, the airings of ABC World News Tonight on SBS at 12.30pm are fresher than this in most timezones of Australia!

Do they still use satellites? Surely it would be easier to send via the internet?

@foxyrover For me, the answer is yes. International news coverage comes in via satellite and most television networks use satellites in order to access content from overseas.

@TVHead It’s evening on America’s east coast (i.e. New York) and it’s afternoon here in New Zealand (NZST/NZDT). ABC World News Tonight is beamed in via satellite just a few hours earlier, although the content remains fresh.

It’ll be 12:30 in NZ when WNT airs its first feed and they usually do an update for western viewers immediately afterwards at 13:00. That’s 4.5 hours. They’re better off pulling down Nightline live at 18:30.

I’m just going to drop this here. This is the Seven Sharp opening theme currently in use. I used @mediareview 30 second track they posted with another section of a track posted on Vimeo and created this 1 minute theme.

@NaruTVMock I wish they would use this.
Wendy’s last night hosting TVNZ1 News at Six over the summer break, funny enough this is where I tune off from news completely. After watching Wendy these past weeks I completely do not understand why they chose Simon

Agreed in full, hopefully there will be a shake up of presenters!
