I watched TVNZ+ for 1 & 1/2 hrs last night, and there was 1 15 second commercial. Just one, the rest were trailers. Digital must be struggling too.

Thatâs what I donât understand with the TVNZ+ platform, I would have thought the commercials would stream as they do on broadcast as any online viewership would be a factor in the advertising ratecard. Since this isnât the case I donât see any benefit to livestreaming if they arenât monetising it.

TVNZ+ as far as reach is #3 behind Netflix and Youtube. Then itâs Disney+, Amazon Prime and ThreeNow. If digital is their big hope and TVNZ+ is playing 1 ad over 1.5 hrs then itâs no wonder WBD are pulling back ⌠Thatâs pretty dire!

TVNZ really need to look at a paid sub model for TVNZ+. Some really good stuff on there but the ads (or lack of as posted above) are a tough one. I know Iâd pay extra.

I wouldnât, but I wouldnât really care if there were more ads.

(continuing discussion from 1 News thread on proposed cost cutting measures at TVNZ)
TVNZ obviously thinks there are other shows that pull more viewers than a long running Kiwi soap. But if TVNZ only runs programs from Australia, US or UK at 7pm, instead of a locally produced show, I think itâs just not worth it.
How will TVNZ covers Blackcapsâ home matches in the future? One of the purposes of TVNZ Duke is to cover live sport without interrupting regular schedules on TVNZ 1 and TVNZ 2.

Shortland Street rates fairly low now but I donât think there would be much else that would pull a decent audience on TVNZ2 now.

Online, I suppose. Or maybe they will just interrupt TV1 or 2. If they canât afford to show anything else, itâs easy content⌠Honestly, I have to wonder if the government would be better off selling TVNZ at this stage.

Perhaps that RNZ/TVNZ merger should had happened after all⌠I daresay weâd be having far more positive conversations atm. Or failing that, how hard would it have been to have just made TV1 ad-free? Fund it with a 1% levy on all TV (and digital?) advertising. That would have been easier, cheaper and solved a whole host of problems for both TVNZ and TV3. But itâs all academic nowâŚ

Same, if TV One turned ad free before 1987 and TV2 sell off we are not in this situation right now. TV3 would have a more vibrant News and Current Affairs division in NZ. TVNZ would continue regulation so it would prevented axing of primer current affairs show like Sunday.
Only just noticed this old post - to me it says a lot that the only semi-coherent media policy last election came from Liz fucking Gunn! I know Iâm repeating myself but I just canât get my head around it. She wanted to make TV1 ad free with extra focus on news, current affairs and discussions. Now, I know sheâs a cooker extraordinare, but her basic idea was sound.

Funny joke that she said about non-commerical TV One
Oscars on Disney+ this year in NZ.
No watermark - breaks are being filled with a slide and instrumental cover of âDance The Night Awayâ

Makes more sense as to why it ended up on Disney given the state of Three & TVNZ at the moment.

Yep - easy contract for TVNZ to cut I suspect.
And itâs on ABC in the states so they have a easy platform to use it

Good news, MovieSphere may be finally launching soon.
Bad news, itâs a Lionsgate-heavy channel with not as many heavy hitters as we probably expected from the look of it.
