@NuStraya Below are the mock schedules for PTV Network New Zealand’s (as a fictional broadcaster) two lifestyle channels, Home and Taste.

Home, the lifestyle channel, broadcasts seven days a week from 9am until around midnight and offers a full selection of lifestyle and factual programmes covering architecture, interior design, DIY, travel, gardening, history, pets, wildlife, antiques and real-life drama (i.e. observational documentaries).

Themed nights of programming between 7.30-10.30pm are provided: Sunday, Pets & Wildlife; Monday,Travel; Tuesday, Design & Build; Wednesday, History; Thursday, Real Life; Friday, Home & Garden. On Saturdays, Home’s Weekend Living block airs at 7.30pm and is repeated the next day (from 12-3pm every Sunday).

Taste, the food channel, broadcasts seven days a week from 11am until around midnight and offers a broader array of cooking shows, combined with other food-related programmes ranging from nutrition to ethnic food, wine and entertaining.

Like the other PTV Network channels, both Home and Taste are intended for being available free-to-air nationwide via the Freeview platform (UHF and satellite) and in HD (UHF only). They are also available as live streams via the Freeview Streaming TV app and PTV+ (app and website).

Without further ado, here’s a sample of a typical week’s viewing on Home and Taste.

BREAKING NEWS!

PTV Network New Zealand is undergoing major changes to its existing news and current affairs programmes, although it is only a mock announcement. Watch this space for more details.

I don’t understand what that one is? It’s just the BBC News being replayed with an ABC bulletin in the middle?

1 Like

The PTV News Channel would carry a live, international feed of the BBC News channel which provides audiences with comprehensive coverage of world news and impartial, in-depth analysis of global events - all of which are drawn on the resources of and delivered via satellite by BBC News.

BBC News at Six and BBC News at Ten - with such BBC News presenters as George Alagiah, Fiona Bruce, Reeta Chakrabarti, Huw Edwards, Mishal Husain, Clive Myrie and Sophie Raworth - are being inserted (in lieu of the usual BBC News feed), although viewers in NZ would have to get used to the upside-down sense of time.

BBC News at Six beams in from London at 5am NZ time and BBC News at Ten, 9am NZ time. In that case, the 6pm and 10pm bulletins would be recorded off the satellite, re-edited and shown in NZ on Tuesday to Saturday (at the later times of 10am and 4pm respectively) rather than in the usual Monday to Friday evening slots they are geared to for British viewers.

The BBC’s own content (including the BBC News feed, BBC News at Six and BBC News at Ten) would be supplemented with other content such as international news bulletins from ABC and CBS in the United States - e.g. CBS Evening News is shown at 1.30pm & 5.30pm daily and ABC World News Tonight at 2.30pm & 6.30pm daily with ABC Nightline at 11.30pm every Tuesday to Saturday - and live feeds of breaking news and press conferences from around NZ via the PTV News newsroom.

What’s more, commercial spots for the PTV News Channel are built in. Equipment at the Warkworth satellite station would enable these spots to be replaced with programme trailers and promos as well as ‘filler’ content.

Yeah I know what the BBC News is and understand time differences, but this just seems like a rebroadcast of the BBC News channel with local ads? Why not craft a proper local news channel that’d serve your audience?

No plans at the moment.

The planned news bulletins, produced originally for the PTV News Channel, have moved to the PTV News website (ptvnews.co.nz) and mobile app as an online-only service and would be available as live streams during the following hours:

  • Monday to Friday (on the half hour): 5.00am - 8.30am
  • Monday to Friday (on the hour, every hour): 9.00am - 11.00pm
  • Weekends and public holidays (on the hour, every hour): 6.00am - 11.00pm

Each bulletin would be shorter and snappier, i.e. four minutes, and include national and international news stories in summary form along with a sports story and a national weather forecast.

Additional content, such as financial market updates and weather forecasts, would also appear online and as ‘filler’ content on the PTV News Channel.

As you would have heard and the winter season approaches, I have had to make the decision to change the name of Patrick Te Pou Enterprises Limited (trading as PTV Network New Zealand) to Patrick Te Pou Broadcasting Limited. However, the trade name remains unchanged.

The reason why I had to change the name is to branch into talk radio since the closure of the real-life Today FM, although plans within my dream television network are still emphasised.

the planned bulletins should be on linear too

So why would you not put them on your news channel?
Seems silly to waste time just rebroadcasting BBC world which is already available most places.

Yes you posted that above already.

Back to the news channel, what’s the rationale for moving local news off of the local news channel and onto a website?

To make the latest and most important stories from across NZ available on the PTV News website and mobile app at any time. Viewers come back during the day and night to see how a story develops.

Initially, the live news bulletins would be streamed live on the website and app during the following hours:

  • Monday to Friday (on the half hour): 5.00am - 8.30am
  • Monday to Friday (on the hour, every hour): 9.00am - 11.00pm
  • Weekends and public holidays (on the hour, every hour): 6.00am - 11.00pm

As a recap, each live bulletin would run for up to four minutes and include national and international news stories in summary form along with a sports story and a national weather forecast.

Once a BBC News bulletin finishes, the live bulletins would be replayed on the PTV News Channel at:

  • :25 & :55 past each hour from 5-8.30am weekdays
  • :25 past each hour from 9am-11pm weekdays and 6am-11pm weekends/public holidays (except at 10am & 4pm Tuesday to Saturday, where the live bulletins are replayed at :55 past due to the scheduling of both BBC News at Six and BBC News at Ten).

These would be followed by 60 seconds of promos and trailers of programmes seen on other PTV Network channels.
