Hey all, looking for the name of a New Zealand investigative tv show that was around in the 1990s. More specifically, it had a couple of episodes in 1996, one which featured a young guy saying “I like knives, guns too.” and another episode where another young person states “I am an insane driver.”

Any insight would be appreciated.

Assignment, maybe? Was Foreign Correspondent a thing? 60 Minutes, 20/20 both aired about then.

The Press is on Papers Past up until 1995, if the programme aired then you might find it in the TV listings? Try This.

Will coverage split across Sky Sport, Sky Open and Three or just Sky Sport and Three?

Not sure. Probably Sky and Three at a guess

Seems like barely any on FTA?

Is any FTA coverage enshrined in the contract? Obviously if not then they might do a 10/P+ with the A-Leagues and see how things rate each season.

The deal was signed before Sky acquired Three - but it was mentioned when it was signed that there would be a FTA component.

What would be the reasoning behind not putting them on TV when surely ad revenue for broadcast TV would be higher?

TVNZ+ is already so popular, so I can only think it’ll be easier to get a viewer to pay for the tournament pass if they’re already on the app
