New Zealand TV

Delete if not allowed, but have nabbed this ratings chart off The Spinoff website to give us a rare insight into NZ TV ratings in 2023.

I will happily cringe on behalf of the nation that a repeat of The Chase Bloopers commanded an audience of 404,500 viewers. Long live the oldies who prop up TVNZ1.

The Chase is popular across all age groups - hence why they flog it in primetime too!

No surprise to see My Life is Murder rating well - the only locally made drama in the top 20.

what’s the article on the spinoff this from? just curious.

The documentary that aired on One on Tuesday night, ‘No Maori Allowed’, was excellent.

The Australian version of Would I Lie to You? starts tonight on TVNZ2 at 9pm, right after The Voice Australia. Filmed in Melbourne, the first season was hosted by Chrissie Swan with Chris Taylor and Frank Woodley as team captains.
Here is the line-up for the first episode.

The show was recently renewed for a second season by Network 10 at its 2023 upfronts, with Charlie Pickering replacing Chris Taylor as team captain. Chrissie Swan returns as host and Frank Woodley returns as team captain.

Wonder if we’ll get The Cheap Seats here anytime soon

Surprised they didn’t already do a deal for that show given they have their own version of HYBPA? and given Mel’s involvement.

Perhaps there are plans for a local version down the track.

The Cheap Seats would be full of tv spoilers for Australian shows not yet broadcast in NZ

Would it though? It’s predominantly all news based content, can’t imagine there would be many (if any) spoilers for NZ viewers.

The Cheap Sets would be a great filler when Have You Been Paying Attention takes a break and would be good in the TVNZ 2 Friday comedy blcok

I hope the cheep seats comes to tv2 soon, they announced that they are coming back for 2023 so hopefully then

We await with anticipation for next months TVNZ and Discovery NZ Upfronts.

I think that TVNZ 2 will do a NZ version of The Voice, Hunted NZ and local Drama series The Bishop and TVNZ 1 will go more public service like and new series of One Lane Bridge and Warner Bros. Discovery NZ will revive Inside NZ and new local series Dry Creek

I remember playing around with the home designer app they had on iOS back then. Hours of fun.

I think TV3 will gotta be a NZ version of Dancing on Ice NZ, My Kitchen Rules NZ, The Chase NZ, The Cheap Seats NZ and NZ’s version drama show NCIS: Auckland and Law & Order: New Zealand.

I wish TV3 could bring Survivor New Zealand back.

Stuff did a great article a while back about why it wouldn’t work here.

As for the other reality shows you mentioned, MKR NZ was already done and burned off by TVNZ a few years ago and it’s unlikely Survivor will be brought back now that CTI has a good foothold.

Dancing on Ice and The Cheap Seats do have some possibility of coming here, depending on if Discovery find it a good investment to bring it over.
