Totally believe this should be title of this thread instead of âTongue-in-Cheek Mocksâ.

But how would you tell the difference between this thread and anything I post throughout the forum? 
According to some of you, anyway.

Remembering how Nine typically runs a number of cross-promotional reports on ACA for Married At First Sight when that show is running, could we see the ABC doing something like this on 7.30 in a couple of weeks?

Andrew was back tonight after his COVID vaccination was shown on last nightâs bulletin. While initially reporting âdidnât feel a thing - no side effectsâ, overnight saw an interesting deployment. âNothing a little bleach and make up canât fixâ he was heard to say.

The new Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand (BCNZ) would transform the power of both RNZ and TVNZ into a combined, publicly owned multimedia organisation. It would offer radio, TV and online content in a similar vein to public service broadcasters like the ABC in Australia, the BBC in the UK, CBC in Canada and RTĂ in Ireland.
According to The Detail, such an organisation, like the new BCNZ, would be âmixed-modelâ â funded through a combination of public funding (which is currently what sustains RNZ) and advertising revenue (which is TVNZâs current model).
For TV, both TVNZ 1 & 2 would become BCNZ 1 & 2.
BCNZ 1 would be non-commercial and incorporate a blend of news, current affairs, sports, quality dramas, documentary and factual programming, with over 50% New Zealand content. BCNZ 2 would be funded by advertising and provide a mix of general entertainment and movies, with 30% New Zealand content.
TVNZ DUKE would get the chop and two new channels would be brought in: BCNZ 6 (a dedicated non-commercial âchildrenâs channelâ by day and a commercial âbest of overseasâ channel by night) and BCNZ 7 (a non-commercial factual channel with news, current affairs and documentary programming).
TVNZ OnDemand would become BCNZ iPlayer, similar to BBC iPlayer from the UK.
For radio, the two national networks would become BCNZ National and BCNZ Concert and RNZ Pacific would become BCNZ Pacific. The AM Network, which broadcasts all sittings of Parliament on AM, would remain unchanged.
What do you think?

I think it would be better known as âThe Department of Conversation,â love the use of greens in the logo⌠hardly anyone uses green.

CNN New Zealand? As Iâve mentioned here before, weâre a small country and we just donât have enough news to fill a 24 hour channel - aka âNew Zealandâs first ever 24 hour news channelâ.

I really wish CNN itself didnât drop Gotham as its font for its own custom uninspired CNN Sans. Good mock!

I think the current population of New Zealand is just over 5 million? So itâd be comparable to either the Sydney or Melbourne metropolitan areas here in Australia having a news channel - probably not likely to happen in the foreseeable future.

Only when the ABC bothers to point their satellite to re-broadcast it.

Thatâs why it was a tongue-in-cheek mock.

Itâd be the worldâs first news channel to have a nightly closedown.
How about Discovery NZ? Or TVNZ?

ABC News channel was basically doing that from the beginning; it was switching to showing BBC World News, or Al Jazeera English, and more recently some repeats of current affairs programming⌠basically it closes down.
