In April this year, Choice TV will be celebrating 10 years on air. However, it will be replaced next month by Gusto - one of two brand new channels from Discovery New Zealand.

Gusto is aimed at the 40-54 year old demographic and will offer a blend of local and international entertainment content, such as British dramas, documentaries, game shows and films. An 8pm news bulletin from Newshub will feature.

Before Gusto takes over, Choice TV has broadcast an exciting range of programmes 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Programming from Monday to Friday evenings would initially be based around a different theme, such as travel on Mondays, ‘property and design’ on Tuesdays, ‘the great outdoors’ on Wednesdays, food on Thursdays and ‘home and garden’ on Fridays. And on the weekends, it was going to be pure entertainment fun.

You can watch a highlights package of Choice TV’s programming when it launched in 2012.

Farewell, Choice TV (2012 - 2022).

Some of the screencaps I took during the 30 min Waitangi Day special at 4:30pm; of course, coming from The Project studio.

Would Gusto lineup be a blow for Prime which uses mostly British dramas and Docos when it launches, I reckon it will fuel up for promotion to Sky programmes even more and most programmes leaning towards more TVNZ 2 and Three style line up

Great article from the Spinoff. This is the only reason I still read the TV Guide nowadays.

Amazing. I used to be a regular buyer of the TV Guide but wouldn’t have purchased it in about a decade. Even as a kid I would devour it as soon as it came out, the Mr Telly section used to be quite good, along with the whinging there was some replies from networks about shows coming back (or not) and scheduling information.

Pretty breathless of her to take $ from the NZ Govt after attacking NZ’s COVID-19 response on Twitter the other week.

Disagree - there’s a difference between encouraging boosters (the best form of protection against the virus) and having to agree with the approach to the border. Those things aren’t mutually exclusive.
