Interesting tidbit amongst the bad news announced by NZME.

…details on the streaming channel would be released at a later time but RNZ understands the plans are for a free, ad-supported news channel called Herald NOW.

It would be live for six hours each morning followed by repeats throughout the day.

RNZ understands the channel would be supported by partnership deals with brands, sponsored content, and branded segments and integrating investigations from ex-Three News reporter Michael Morrah’s as well as Madison Reidy’s business podcast with news content and six daily weather and sport updates.
