Note: I have not had a problem streaming News Breakfast today.

How can TVNZ get the rights to the air the games on Ondemand but ABC can’t get the rights to air the games on iview?

I’m pretty sure that TVNZ is in a similar position to Seven being the sole TV broadcaster of the Commonwealth Games, the ABC only has radio rights AFAIK.

And again tonight (Friday).

Technical hitch at the start of this evening’s Victorian bulletin. As Ian Henderson was introducing the story about Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s 30th consecutive Newspoll loss, the background screen was showing Commonwealth Games for a few seconds before reverting to the St Kilda Pier photo. Then when Andrew Probyn’s report about the poll began, there was audio but no video for a few seconds before it went back to normal.
