if what Chris Keall has posted includes tvnz+ streams, then Shortland Street doesn’t look to have picked up much… as I think it’s usually fairly close to that number

Certainly not much at all if it includes its streaming figures, if anything those numbers are dire. The audience haven’t just abandoned it’s 7pm screening they have outright abandoned the show.

New Three boss already making cuts

  • Juliet Peterson was named head of Warner Bros Discovery NZ on Wednesday, after Glen Kyne announced his resignation in the wake of Newshub’s axing.
  • She said local versions of MAFS, Traitors and My Mum Your Dad, funded the same way as Newshub, would no longer be produced.
  • Three would become “a window for ThreeNow” under a digital first strategy

Didn’t they already announce all location productions would cease, not just the closure of Newshub?

Yeah they announced this way back on that first day.

Speaking of which, the upcoming 4th and final season of Married at First Sight NZ will have one Kiwi and one Australian expert.

I still haven’t heard a peep about how CRC Motorsport will proceed - I presume they’ll ditch the Studio-based content and just show each race as-is?

Not sure - I guess they could film it off site?

I’m surprised it’s still going at any rate.

Shaun did it from his garage during COVID, so I guess they could revert to that… but yeah, it’s their only talent-fronted sports programme… must be a lonely outpost!

“sitting very close to where I’m sitting right now. So I have a lot of love and I think spiritually, this is my home.”

Not going to be too much left in the home by 2025. I can’t imagine Glen’s role was going to receive the salary or importance it currently has once the cuts are all made so I can see why he would depart.

Interesting…, the words ‘cliff’ and ‘glass’ spring to mind. And not necessarily in that order.

Has The Traitors already filmed a NZ second season or has that been ditched ahead of filming?

I think they’re filming now or if not just wrapped filming

More Fast Channels coming to ThreeNow, with CNN and a Graham Norton channel arriving soon. Does anyone know if TVNZ+ will add any? They seem so slow in launching any.

Haven’t heard anything but if the calibre of Three’s FAST offerings are anything to go by I don’t think we’re missing much.

A Graham Norton Show 24-7 channel? Is it 2012?

2 Likes

Yeah true, they haven’t been the most riveting of FAST channels.

I certainly wouldn’t be against the idea…not my cup of tea (I would rather curate my viewing) but you could certainly try things. Seven Sharp 24/7 (I was going to suggest Sunday but…y’know) or try TVNZ Heartland again digitally etc.
