Take a closer look at the picture ... it's not just a name mashup but a habour mashup.

The darker lower part of the image is part of the usual TV1 webcam image of the Wellingland waterfront, placed below their standard Auckton view in the upper portion.

It's a great joke by TV and mischievious of the OP to call it a fail.

Auckland is normal but Wellington is purple.  Must have Telstra clear down there, like that glowing purple man on the ads...
