Four TV networks covered the election results TV1, TV#, Maori, and Radio NZ. How would you rank their presentation?
My rankings:
First place - TV3, for the most part fast paced, plenty of variety, and a good range of commentators but somewhat repetitive at the end
Second place - TV good graphics and set but marred by the constant yap of Mike Hosking who seem to think everyone wanted to hear his opinions on everything and the other players were simply cardboard cutouts.
3rd place Maori TV who with limited resources tried to cover a wide territory and make the best of what was a bad night for the Maori Party.
Also ran Radio NZ, embarrassing, chaotic at times bad to watch and even worse to listen to.
I was surprised by TV3's presentation, it was much better than I anticipated.
What is your take?
