Are the live draws returning under Red or are they still going to be done off air?

@LiamP Itâs up to the team from Lotto New Zealand as the draws are currently conducted off air under scrutiny from the Audit Office. The live Lotto draws, however, will return as soon as the Covid-19 restrictions are loosened. Thatâs when!

The BBC went to air with its winter imagery for Xmas season, then TVNZ followed. I never said they copied each other, maybe the wrong word used and misinterpreted by folks here.
You said copy of the bbc look⌠which implies tvnz copied their imagery⌠believe it or not the bbc probably wasnât the first in the world to go live with Christmas branding either so I guess everyoneâs âcopyingâ everyone?

I am extremely late as in like four months late, but I absolutely love the Te Ao branding, definitely one of the best in the country imo.

Hogwarts Tournament of Houses debuts on TVNZ2 tonight at 7.30pm. NZ is one of few countries in the world where the show gets a FTA screening.
It will be available on Foxtelâs streaming service Binge in Australia on January 15 next year.

âThe Chase Bloopersâ, I realise itâs supposedly the summer schedule and replacing Sunday but good griefâŚ
The power of that show! There are so many UK game shows littering the schedule across the year now.

As @Reece mentioned, itâs a juggernaut. Hence why they labelled The Larkins on air recently as âBradley Walshâs The Larkinsâ. Anything with that show works.
Itâs getting itâs balls handed to it by Tipping Point right now and paired with Pointless on Nine, across the ditch
Always weird the differences between Australia and NZâŚparticularly because the Australian version of The Chase has bombed across 3 different channels here so itâs not necessarily the format but the hosts and Chasers which have been the reason for success in NZ.
