Vigilant long-time reader Leo reports overnight he has just completed a survey about streaming:

It looks like the streaming service BritBox is finally coming to NZ along with a new BBC Brit Freeview channel replacing Duke+1. Also it looks like TVNZ will be doing a deal with the BBC for some FAST channels. All preliminary at the moment, but there could be some announcements in the next few weeks.

Pure speculation here but this RNZ article mentions that Ms. X and Settling are showing on Three+. Potential new name for ThreeNow or just a typo?

Typo, i would assume considering the domain “threeplus.co.nz” and other variations aren’t registered.

The writer probably mixed up with TVNZ+
