They say this.....
"TVNZ head of news and current affairs Ross Dagan said a replacement daily current affairs show “with a distinctively different format” would launch in the 7pm slot in the New Year."
I think they mean it will be replaced with some crap reality or trash current affairs programme.
TVNZ seem hell bent on self destruction.
