“Honestly Labour could of done the most smallest thing and just reinstated the money for TVNZ 6 & 7” Yep, I would have been happy with that. I enjoyed watching 6 and 7 when they first came out. Unfortunately the funding ran out in 2012, and it all got chopped. ---

I agree now is not the time to sell off TV2 (which is TVNZ 2 now) because it would cause chaos, the best time to do this should be around 1986 when somebody suggested an commercial free TV One and selling off TV2. If that happened in my hypothetical situation the channel would be owned by Nine Entertainment Co and TV2 would be the most watched channel in New Zealand and TV One would have lower ratings by public service obligations that meet certain programming requirements that help transfer ad revenue to the newly privatised TV2 and new competitor TV3. ---

Ad free TV1+ commercial TV2 but remaining under a single entity is the way to go. National fucking hate public broadcasting in all forms though. Very sad all round. ---

Nice idea as we could see through change if Jacinda Ardern has not resigned in January, anyway National would reverse this change because National supporters are not fans of a Ad-free public service channel here in NZ ---

Pretty much. Unfortunately, there isn’t much of an appetite for current affairs, or at least, the sales reps can’t find anyone to advertise during them. Their PR dept’s probably get easily spooked. Although, that doesn’t seem to matter so much during Fair Go. ---
