Schedule seems to have changed from a mishmash of Discovery/Food Network repeats to 10+ year old TLC repeats. I thought they would’ve updated the on-air presentation (not that there is much!) to go with the new look branding but everything’s still the same.

Ooh yeah, I just noticed that. Seems like the schedule has changed just today.
I was also expecting a new on air presentation too. I really hope it’ll come soon because it just looks so outdated. And it seems like the playback overseas is still going on…

The same article also mentions the reason Kiwi viewers have to endure a week’s delay for new episodes of Married at First Sight Australia.
A Sky PR spokeswoman said:
“We have been a long-term partner of the franchise in New Zealand, working closely with Channel Nine as the primary broadcaster and following the same pattern when it comes to airing the show, which is Sunday–Wednesday.
“A key part of MAFS is the Wednesday dinner party, and the Sunday commitment ceremonies, providing continuity for NZ audiences in the same way that it’s delivered, and intended to be consumed in Australia."

The Chase is so valuable to TVNZ, they’ve bumped it to TV2 while the NZ vs RSA cricket airs on TV1. I think previously they put the womens game on Duke for these double-headers.
