Don’t think Jenny worked at CTV.

Kruze Tangira, a former member of the NZ men’s netball team, joined TVNZ recently as a weather presenter. Prior to that, he had worked at Sky in recent times as a netball commentator.

Isn’t there a recruitment freeze?
He’s already been at TVNZ for Te Karere for a couple of years.

Why is it surprising they would eat pavolva?
Ha right you are!
But yes - an NZBS production shown by CTV.

I know I have had a whinge about the foreign correspondent roles remaining during all the recent cuts but I think the LA fires have been a clear example of how ineffective the roles now are.
Stories and live crosses done by Logan Church have all been done thousands of kilometres away over in New York, they haven’t bothered sending him to LA. Some nights the fire reports have even been voiced by the presenter on the night (Wendy or Chris). Nothing wrong with that of course but it seems pointless having the role if they aren’t covering a major story.

Yeah, I’ve found that a little odd too - I can only assume there is a reason for it otherwise you’d think he’d be there

I imagine they simply can’t afford to send him to LA. Actually I’m a bit surprised they’ve kept the foreign coro roles, when so many other jobs have been cut. Who is the Europe coro these days (if anyone)?

Internal flights in the US even at short notice wouldn’t send TVNZ to the wall, surely.

Maybe it was the cost of accommodation that would.
Probably the insurance more than anything else.

Very late start compared to previous years. Probably a lot easier now there’s no competition to be early to.

Looks like Kim Baker Wilson has left TVNZ. Presumably related to the redundancies announced and pushed through the past two months.
I quite enjoyed his reporting style.
