Three’s playout was a bit shocking last night. The now, next, later screen was partly blank, same promos repeating back to back, and the Rush broadcasting standards screen was used instead of Three’s. Also seeing some Three promos air on Bravo, usually its just Bravo stuff so assuming this is an error too. Can’t imagine NBCU would be too thrilled about that. ---

> [@Horomono](#): > > We really need that playout change… despite it’s still WBD controlled overseas and Sky has owned Three/Rush/Eden etc. since August 2025. Wouldn’t surprise me if WBD NZ had to pay a nice wee price to what ever part of the wider business provides playout services when they axed the local team and for a specific length of time which Sky needs to honour. I know its early days but Sky ownership hasn’t really changed much for Three so far, still the limping along schedule of programmes. ---

That’s more than two months after 10’s premiere. Hopefully Three has enough new episodes to air so it doesn’t need to rely on repeats later this year. ---
