Here’s my version of the on-air presentation refresh montage I recorded across the TVNZ networks:

Interestingly, Sky didn’t have their own reporter on the ground for the game and used Newshub’s Narelle Sindos (who was a former Sky Sport presenter) for crosses and post-game interviews.

They credited her as Newshub’s Narelle Sindos and she used a Newshub mic for the interviews.

Guessing she was ‘loaned’ for the match or there was some sort of cost-sharing arrangement.

I don’t think Newshub has ever rated well in the 5+ demo. Still quite incredible to see how well 1News rates.

It is a sad reflection of the older generations viewing habbits when The Chase bloopers repeat is the third most watched show of the week. It will only encourage them to repeat it again and again.

Agree, although there’s an element of ‘chicken and egg’ given its slot time. And it’s not like it’s competing against anything particularly more cerebral on the other channels.

I suspect that if 1 News were presented by candlelight and read in Latin, it would still outrate Newshub. I have to wonder whether Discovery might cut back on the amount of Newshub output in the future?

(As an aside, before they purchased TV3, one of the other contenders was supposedly - believe it or not - Paul Henry. His grand plan, had he bought it, would have been to shut down Newshub and focus just on current affairs).

I doubt Newshub would care about 5+ figures and would be more concerned with the 25-54 and 18-49 demos.

Surely there’ll be a point where audiences stablise, like other entertainment medium’s before it.  
I think TV networks need to stop trying to compete with streamers and curate their content better. They need to add value to it, to understand when a group of people will sit down to a scheduled programme, and give people a reason to tune in. That’s why sport remains viable on TV… will that be all TV becomes, sportscasts?

I’m not sure why the need the “Now Playing” captions - surely the play button would do on it’s own? It’s been a standard icon since the cassette deck (possibly even earlier?)

Possibly and live news.

I think it’s going to become even harder to find that “why” for people to tune in. Before the days of streaming, or let’s say high speed internet, if you wanted to watch some thing else than what was on in the main TV of the house, you probably but not always retreated to a bedroom TV or you just watched what was in the lounge. Now, you can have everyone in the house watching different content on all different devices. This isn’t a new point, but I think the notion of a group of people settling in to watch certain content is probably over.

Very likely.

What I guess the graphs really highlight is that broadcast isn’t the only way to access content (which has been largely enabled by UFB and smarty-devices).  
I’ve love to see the streaming numbers to see breakdown of the real audience share to see if people are tuning out or simply watching through different means.
