@TelevisionAU The Australian soap, “Neighbours”, made its debut on New Zealand TV screens on Network Two (now TVNZ 2) at 7pm on the evening of Monday 25 July 1988 - just over three years after it was first shown on the Seven Network.

In the final week of July, TVNZ introduced a new season of springtime programming. Below are the changes to existing programming on both TV One (now TVNZ 1) and Network Two during the final week of July 1988, according to an article from the NZ Listener.

  • Australian soap “Sons and Daughters” moved to 5.25pm on TV One.
  • “Network News” moved half an hour earlier, from 6.30pm to 6pm, and was rebranded as the “Network News at Six”. The weekend “Network News” remained at 6.30pm and was rebranded as the “Network News and Sport”, but did not move to 6pm until October 1989. (TV One)
  • TVNZ introduced new, high-tech weather graphics and new weather presenters - Jim Hickey and Penelope Barr. They presented the weather from Auckland as part of the “Network News at Six” and replaced the Wellington based Veronica Allum and Sue Scott, who used to present the weather from there on alternate nights.
  • “EyeWitness” moved to TV One and was rebranded as “EyeWitness News”. It screened at 9.30pm and ran for 45 minutes. The “EyeWitness” return to primetime proved a popular move, according to then editor Paul France, and its new shorter duration meant a tighter presentation package. The half hour “Worldwatch” was dropped, but there was a still firm commitment to in-depth reporting of overseas issues at the time. The programme was presented by Lindsay Perigo from Monday to Thursday, with Rob Neale took over on Fridays. New opening titles introduced, but the theme music remained the same.
  • “Te Karere” moved to the new timeslot of 5.15pm to correspond with the “Network News” move. There was also an additional “Te Karere Headlines” - a short bulletin before the midday news and another bulletin as part of “EyeWitness News”. (TV One)
  • “Foreign Correspondent” was extended from half an hour to 50 minutes in duration, and continued to air at 8.30pm on Thursday nights. (TV One)
  • “Frontline” moved 10 minutes earlier and screened at 6.50pm on Sunday nights. (TV One)
  • “Encounter”, a programme in which the studio audience posed questions to the invited guest, screened at 7pm on Friday nights. (TV One)
  • “Fourth Estate”, a weekly media commentary programme (similar in format to the ABC’s"MediaWatch"), moved to Thursday nights at 9.20pm - right after “Foreign Correspondent”. (TV One)
  • “Kaleidscope”, an arts programme, screened at around 9.35pm on Sunday nights. (TV One)
  • Nature documentary slot “Our World” moved to Mondays at 7pm. (TV One)
  • “Coronation Street” was extended to three nights a week - Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 7.30pm on TV One. Over on Network Two, “EastEnders” was shown on Mondays and Tuesdays at 7.30pm.
  • “The Bill” returned to New Zealand TV screens in a twice weekly, half hour format and screened on TV One on Thursdays and Fridays at 8pm - just a few days after it screened in Britain.

These are the examples.

did Neighbours start there from episode one or did it start from a later episode?

@TelevisionAU When “Neighbours” aired on New Zealand television for the first time, it started from episode one.

What was 10AM on TV ONE about? Current Affairs?

445

@Leotv 10AM was, in fact, a magazine-style arts show hosted by Kathryn Asare (from RNZ). It mixed reports and studio interviews on various topics involving the local arts scene, combined with performances. Peter Hawes was invited by 10AM’s producer, Gil Barker, to introduce a lighter touch than previous arts shows.
