RT’s been dropped from Sky.
@theGradyConnell The name “Eden”, to me, is a homage to the Auckland suburb - Eden Terrace - in which Three/Discovery New Zealand is currently headquartered.
As TV3, the network had been broadcasting from a converted dairy factory in Eden Terrace since its launch in 1989.
Just delete the channel completely, they can’t ever consider bringing back Russian propeganda.

Noticed this in the EPG - What Now? the long-running children’s TV show on Sunday mornings on TVNZ2 only airing from 8.30am now for 1 hour instead of two, used to start at 8am for 2 hours.

Is that due to costs?
Wonder if it’s down to the red light setting…

Actually I looked it up and PG here is much the same :
Yet Home and Away is PG and you never hear anyone using any of those words. They said the other day someone was a "pain in the neck " or “pain in the backside” .
Shortland St quite often you hear piss off , bastard and most of those PG words.
Maybe they’re just too conservative here with storylines. People would be outraged if Alf Stewart called someone a bastard but seems ok for a teenager to tell a parent to p off and she’s a b*tch…in the last episode of Shortland St.

While it was an interesting read, a lot of it was Kyne expressing self-serving views (eg; he essentially wants a potential merged TVNZ/RNZ entity to be a non-profit that competes less with Discovery).
One interesting tidbit ‘burried’ in the opinion piece is confirmation that Discovery+ will launch in NZ “soon”.

Yeah it reads like he was trying to fill a word limit. lol
Much the same as when Mediaworks owned Three, about what you’d expect from a struggling competitor.

Crap logos and why the name change? Gusto way better.
Didn’t realise these were going to be short lived 2007 sky tv channels.
It’s already been reported that Gusto was a channel name for a TVNZ brand. There was a conflict and so Discovery renamed the channel. Though Eden, as a name, is a bit sh!t.
