Season 14 of My Kitchen Rules Australia starts on TVNZ 2 this Sunday (October 20) at 7pm, continuing Mondays and Tuesdays at 7.30pm.
Nine teams will compete during this season for a chance to win A$100,000. Six teams cook in the first round of instant restaurants before the bottom two teams are eliminated and the top scoring team sent to the third round at Kitchen HQ in Sydney. The remaining three teams are then joined by another three teams (gatecrashers) for the second round of instant restaurants, the team with the lowest score at the end of this round will be eliminated. The other five teams then proceed to Kitchen HQ for the next round.
Profiles of the judges Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge, and the first six teams
Saw this morning on Trackside 1 that they are potentially broadcasting from the former Newshub studios off Flower Street for their racing coverage (and notice the desk as well, so similar).
I could be wrong but Iâm just taking a massive bet.

Yep, no LED strips &c. Looking hard at the âex newshubâ desk in the image above, Iâd swear itâs AR, the shading around the bend on the left doesnât look natural, and the person sitting at it appears way small, compared with Newshub. Then again, Iâm not really sure⌠purple desk has underlighting at the bottom though.
Playout was moved offshore just before the Newhub closure as part of the restructure. Generic office space is probably all the WBD operation in NZ needs now.
The Max hub on Sky and Neon will offer series, Hollywood blockbuster movies, and family favourites, as well as a library of programming across lifestyle, reality and documentaries.
Sky Entertainment and Neon subscribers will gain exclusive access to Max and HBO Originals in New Zealand, including the highly anticipated Dune: Prophecy, as well as new seasons of The Last of Us, The White Lotus and Euphoria.
In addition, Max on Sky and Neon will offer WBDâs classic franchises such as Friends, The Big Bang Theory and Rick and Morty, while also featuring a deep library from brands including the DC universe, Warner Bros., Discovery, TLC, Animal Planet, Cartoon Network and Harry Potter.
For Sky Entertainment customers who prefer to enjoy content via linear viewing, Skyâs SoHo channel, which has been the home of HBOâs content on Sky for many years, will be rebranded HBO, exclusively showing HBO Original content.
The new Max hub and dedicated HBO linear channel will be made available on the new Sky Box, Sky Pod and Sky Go from 30 October 2024, with the Max hub also available on Neon. Sky Entertainment and Neon customers will automatically have access to this content, which will be accessible through the Max hub, as well as other areas like the Home Page.
Trackside is usually based at NEPâs Stanley Street studios in central Auckland which is a 10 minute drive from Flower Street (the former home of Newshub through Three/Warner Bros. Discovery NZ) in Eden Terrace, depending on traffic.
@nztv Does that mean Three, Bravo, eden, Rush and HGTV would be renamed?
Sky Open, a free-to-air channel from Sky, already exists and it is intended that WBDâs own free-to-air channels would become part of the revamped Sky Open as a family (e.g. Sky Open 1-6), similar to Sky Sport (e.g. Sky Sport Select and Sky Sport 1-9).
Filming is now underway for the Netflix adaptation of John Steinbeckâs iconic novel, East of Eden, with production taking place across various locations in New Zealand.
After missing out with Max, Threeâs ratings hits a massive low.
New show âOn the Ladderâ hosted by Brodie Kane averaged 6,400 in the 25-54 target which premiered Sunday night. Thatâs only 2% of the audience in New Zealand.
Warner Bros. Discovery owns both Three and Max, but they seem to have âmissed outâ on a streaming partnership that could leverage both? I would have expected the Sky/Max deal to work similarly to the old Newshub arrangement with Prime/Sky Open, where they could launch Max on Sky while still keeping the option to fold Three Now into Max later.
