TVNZ’s coverage of the 1987 general election, a nationwide vote to determine the shape of the 42nd sitting of the New Zealand Parliament, was broadcast live to air on TV One (now TVNZ 1) at 7pm on the evening of Saturday 15 August 1987.

The governing New Zealand Labour Party at the time, led by then Prime Minister David Lange, was re-elected for a second term, although the Opposition National Party made gains. The election also saw the elimination of the Democratic Party (formerly the Social Credit Party) from Parliament, leaving Labour and National as the only parties represented.

It marked the first time that a Labour Government had been re-elected to a second term since 1938 and the first to be re-elected overall since 1946.

Lindsay Perigo and Ian Johnstone co-anchored TVNZ’s election night programme from the Avalon Television Studios in Wellington, with commentary provided by analyst Colin James and political scientist Nigel Roberts. Computer systems brought early predictions and quick results as the programme followed the fortunes of all the major contenders.

I wish they would continue it and the overnight feed.

Showing infomercials overnight is much more lucrative than showing BBC World, though. Agreed about the afternoon slot @OnAir, seemed strange then, let alone now. I can only imagine that the viewing figures at that time of day were perhaps too low to justify showing anything else?

But unfortunately due to costs and commercial considerations they Stopped BBC News running overnight in 2013 and replace it boring informecials

As TVNZ’s music brand, RTR (Ready to Roll), celebrated its 15th birthday on the morning of Saturday 25 August 1990, the RTR banner became what was known as “Pepsi RTR” following a naming rights agreement with Pepsi. Coincident with that, RTR Sounz! and RTR Countdown became “Pepsi RTR Sounz!” and “Pepsi RTR Countdown” respectively.

Stepping aside, Channel 2 (now TVNZ 2) had two new shows premiere - “New Zealand’s Funniest Home Videos” and “Doogie Howser MD”.

Hosted by (Sir) Ian Taylor, formerly of Spot On fame, “New Zealand’s Funniest Home Videos”, the comedy clip show, was really New Zealand’s funniest home videos plus America’s and Japan’s funniest home videos. There were prizes to be won here and there was also a chance to compare the quality of our foul-ups with those of our favourite tourists.

Then, from Steven Bochco, the man who brought you “Hill Street Blues” and “LA Law”, a new sitcom - “Doogie Howser MD”. Doogie (played by a very young Neil Patrick Harris, who went on to star in “How I Met Your Mother”) was 16 and a qualified doctor of medicine who was a second-year resident at the Eastman Medical Centre. And, though he was an intellectual genius with qualifications to prove it, Doogie still had the usual share of teenage angst to cope with - like how to kiss a girl for the first time.

Here’s Doogie talking to his pal, Vinnie (played by Max Casella): “I’m gonna tell her her hair smells great. Then I lean in and sniff her shampoo - girls love it when you smell their hair. Then I give her a lick on her lobule auriculare…”

Vinnie: “You’re gonna do it in public?”
Doogie: “It’s her earlobe, stupid.”

On the evening of Monday 1 September 1975, TV One (now TVNZ 1) concluded transmission with a five-minute summary of the late news and weather.

The late news summary was read by the on-duty continuity announcer at TV One’s Avalon headquarters in Wellington and there was no autocue at the time; the announcer had to read the news and the weather forecast straight from paper while looking at the camera.

The idea was to provide a service for viewers who missed the earlier news bulletins (at 6.30pm and 9pm) and to provide updates on the day’s news.

I thought Doctor Who would not start on TV2 in later in 1976, since TV2’s coverage is limited to Auckland and Christchurch
