Jaxson: Without being rude, we watch Prime news at 5:30
It's half an hour, which is what the original 6pm news was on TV1 back in the day.
They don't muck around with 'Today's Good Sort' etc on there.
TV1 was originally half and hour, followed by Holmes, and then they rolled that into a full hour and then they put something newsy on at 7pm also.
Still bugger all happens day to day in NZ, but they don't include additional international news to pad it out, so it's just awfully wishy washy.
I prefer TV3 over TV1.
TV1 has that pretentious lot saying Fong ahh nui and O oma roo etc, which is just disrespectful to people from those districts.
So true. To everyone else, it is wong ga nui and om a ru. To much political correctness on TVNZ, and I cringe each time they pronounce those place names.
