I used to enjoy Bernadine as a news presenter at TVNZ and I thought she was treated poorly at the time of her departure.
William Waiirua’s social content wants to me to put a drill through my eyes, but great to see Bernie on board.
Bernie is awesome and great that she’s back on FTA TV again and not just Sky Sport.
I was a little disappointed to see some of her social media content suggested Bernie was going down the anti lockdown route… hopefully not as far down the rabbit hole as Liz Gunn. Although would be at home with that Ryan Bridge with such views…
I watched Newshub @ 6 last night and it just reiterated how unimpressive the opening is for me. It starts off great with the dark studio and the date, then falls immediately with the actual intro itself.
Surely a rebrand next year?
I agree 100% - graphics are overdue for a refresh!
I would suggest there’s a major difference between believing lockdown this time was perhaps too heavy handed/long and the kind of offensive bile Liz Gunn is posting.
Will be interesting to see the ratings after a few months as it’s obv going to be a more traditional light and fluffy brekky show … Bit of a gamble when the current format / hosts have been such a winner for them
Agree TVNZ’s Am cup coverage was so cringe crossing to him every 5 mins
I like Bernadine though am surprised Ingrid was looked over (again) - heading to Today FM as daytime newsreader perhaps?
I would say Trudi Nelson, Angie Skerrett, Glen Stuart, Mel Homer, Brin Rudkin and Geoff Bryan would all be potential names for news reading shifts on TodayFM unless MW hires externally.
Trudi does news on SENZ now eh?
More caps, From this mornings AM Show which the last half hour came from a nearby bar to celebrate the move to the Traffic Light system
Also the promo slate for the Final Newshub Nation / Christmas show for 2021
She said it was her last time on air with Newshub.
Does the Project NZ stop over Xmas?
AM Show, 1130 & The Project all wrap up for the year on the 10th of December
With 430 & Late news wrapping up the following week on the 17th of December
Do they realise News doesn’t take a break for the holidays
In NZ, it very much does.
