I see Comedy Central in NZ have either flagged their own feed and rely on Australia or just changed some stuff around. As a frequent viewer I’m a bit pissed because they’ve changed their classifications and they’ve got awful as fuck voice overs on top of them. Ugh

The voice over what can I say he’s trying to be funny.
Introducing the tvnz 2 programmes yes I understand tvnz 2 is an entertainment channel but really no need to have very cheesy voice overs.
I think New Zealand now has among the worst looking TV Logos. They are a complete eyesore.
I do however like THREE’s various logos.
That TVNZ 2 PRG is a mess.
