You mean the guy still hasn’t found his real dad?

On a serious note, this is very tacky.

Pure desperation from both parties here.

This campaign from OneNZ is approaching its third year and man have they dragged it out with very little progression in the story. Very different approach to story arc adverts from years past. Not to sure people care about the whole ‘Jade’ story now, the ads just fade into the background now after being repeated over and over for the past two years.

Yep. It’s gone on way too long. It’s no Danny and Tessa.

Three’s playout was a bit shocking last night.
The now, next, later screen was partly blank, same promos repeating back to back, and the Rush broadcasting standards screen was used instead of Three’s.

Also seeing some Three promos air on Bravo, usually its just Bravo stuff so assuming this is an error too. Can’t imagine NBCU would be too thrilled about that.

We really need that playout change… despite it’s still WBD controlled overseas and Sky has owned Three/Rush/Eden etc. since August 2025.

Wouldn’t surprise me if WBD NZ had to pay a nice wee price to what ever part of the wider business provides playout services when they axed the local team and for a specific length of time which Sky needs to honour.

I know its early days but Sky ownership hasn’t really changed much for Three so far, still the limping along schedule of programmes.

I’m hearing Commonwealth Games is a pivot point with Ryan Bridge Today starting straight after (at this stage), whether much else changes remains to be seen.

It’s also the new 7pm fill in replacement airing weekdays.

That’s more than two months after 10’s premiere.

Hopefully Three has enough new episodes to air so it doesn’t need to rely on repeats later this year.
