It’s interesting how they’ve injected purple into it, kinda poaching the colour from TV2!

This could probably win the award for the slowest rollout of a rebrand ever. This updated logo has been used since September!

they should just change it back, new one looks awful imo. Or they could at least have the purple box and the programme classification on the screen for the same amount of time

Bit of a shame for the region really. Although I’m sure in the past few years it would’ve only hung on while the NZ On Air funding held on - and next year’s funding, on top of being smaller, is for those shorter reports that’ll go on the likes of the ODT’s site - and definitely not for keeping the TV side of it going.

In a way, it’s a surprise it not only held on in Dunedin for a quarter century, but also managed to spread to Invercargill after Cue TV wound up (39 got turned off there earlier this month). But the times, they are a changing, as I’m sure they are for the rest of Allied Press’ businesses.

Hope there’s major changes and rebranding on air, much needed!

Looks like that TVNZ 2 is abandoning its afternoon children’s programming this holidays for a re-run of reality programming that aired thought the last year. TVNZ 2 aired its afternoon children’s slot for nearly 37 years, it will be the first time since 1986 where no children’s programming been broadcast in the afternoons on 2. Through the 1980s TV One used to be home of main TVNZ children’s programming.

Kids aren’t watching linear TV. It’s a hard one for TVNZ2

Your reasoning is why that The Feed and Brain Busters are only moving online to TVNZ+ next year and TVNZ 2 should ditch Children’s programming in the morning’s too and replace with simulcast of TVNZ Breakfast or re runs of shows that first aired on TVNZ 1.

The Auckland New Year Fireworks aren’t in the schedule for TVNZ tonight. They’ve done them for the last few years (maybe close to a decade)? Maybe they just haven’t blocked out a schedule for them, as sometimes they’ve interrupted programmes for them…or maybe they’re not showing them.
