TV One did not broadcast much programmes that day, whereas Channel 2 and TV3 least have some entertaining programmes like Beverly Hills 90210 did not know it was on 2, as it always associated with TV3.

It was definitely on TV3 by about ‘94/‘95. Wonder what the reason for the switch was.

Interesting that none of the NZers were 24/7 even by 1992? When did that change?

@PaddyTePou might know.

I have a feeling it might have been 1994 though. TV1 took BBC World overnight for many years until the early 2010s.

@TelevisionAU @OnAir In January 1992, TVNZ’s Channel 2 (now TVNZ 2) introduced 24 hour television which lasted just three months. It went back to a nightly closedown in April that year.

24 hour television on Channel 2 was reintroduced in May 1993, beginning with Friday and Saturday nights. By mid-1994, it went to Thursday to Sunday nights, and by October 1994 it aired 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

TV One (now TVNZ 1) commenced 24 hour television by screening a direct feed of BBC World (now BBC World News) via satellite in March 1995. This coincided with the launch of Horizon Pacific Television (HPTV), a wholly owned subsidiary of TVNZ; HPTV was made up of four regional stations: ATV (Auckland), Coast to Coast (Waikato/Bay of Plenty), Capital City (Wellington) and Southern (Dunedin).

TV3 (now Three) commenced 24 hour television in April 1995 by filling its overnight downtime with infomercials.

Sky Movies commenced 24 hour programming in February 1992, from Friday at 12 noon until closedown on Sunday. It also aired 24 hours on public holidays, too.

Sky News - a combination of CNN and BBC content via satellite - ran 24 hours a day, seven days a week, since the launch of Sky on Friday 18 May 1990.

Sky Sport commenced 24 hour programming in July 1991; prior to that, it went to air daily from noon to around midnight with live sporting events outside those hours.

Whilst not officially 24 hours, I am of the understanding that TVOne kept their transmitters running 24/7 with a test pattern or static ID slide playing the audio feed of National Radio from Radio New Zealand overnight until the station started up for the morning. This was in the early 1990’s I do believe.

Yes, they did. I had a tape from about 1994/5 which showed they played the National Anthem then cut to a static ONE logo, and as you said, relayed the National Programme. Vicki Mackay was on that night on said tape… she’s been kicking around the graveyard shift for decades!

@OnAir As part of my two-week visit to Auckland, in which I will be spending time with friends and relatives in March/April 2021, I will be able to do more research on classic NZ TV listings.

In fact, some public libraries throughout Auckland have older issues of the NZ Listener and the Takapuna and Waitakere Libraries are among them … I think.

And you can find them on my Facebook page, facebook.com/PatrickTePouNZ. Click “Photos” and you’ll find a series of photos in separate albums. It’s like going back in time to the shows that us as Kiwis used to watch back in the day … especially the years before I was born (in 1989).

Friday 14 March 1975
from the NZ Herald

Here is a list of programmes broadcast on AKTV2 (Auckland) just a few weeks before the NZBC TV network - which includes WNTV1 (Wellington), CHTV3 (Christchurch) and DNTV2 (Dunedin) - became what was known as TV One on 1 April 1975.

Photo credit: Supplied. I want to apologise for the quality of the picture as it is blurry.
