It’s been reported that Newshub Late will broadcast its final bulletin tonight at 9:55pm.
With only 35 days until the news division closes, it will only leave only just 2 news shows (6pm & AM Show) which both will air their final editions on July 5.
Three’s late night bulletin started in 1990 named Nightline and continued to be it until 2013 when it was replaced by The Paul Henry Show in 2014, and another change in 2015 as Newsworthy. And Newshub Late as we know it since 2016 until tonight.
It’ll now leave with no late night news bulletins across New Zealand from next week. Another loss for the news industry.
I would’ve thought they’d redirect it to another domain that matches the new bulletin name, and host the content there. They can still post clips and full bulletins, along with other content from Stuff.
In April, Stuff had a unique audience of 2.1 million, the NZ Herald 1.96 million, Newshub 1.3 million, RNZ 1.2 million and 1News 787,000, according to Nielsen figures.
Seems a bit of a waste, but imagine it’d be redundant keeping two news sites around with Stuff being the bigger party of the two.
I’d be more wary of the Newshub YouTube, some really good videos there stretching all the way back to 3News. Might need to archive some of the more notable clips sooner than later.
Screenshot from last night’s bulletin (26/6/24)… from Sports, re negative comments on Shaun Johnson’s Social Media. Patty Gower, still making the F**king News.
Mike Puru (weather) and Laura Tupou (newsreader) also had their last day as well under the Newshub banner congratulating and thanking viewers. Super Sport Sunday held its final weekly segment but sadly nothing special there.
