I am one who long ago ceased watching the 6pm news live on any channel but the reality is we only ever did it habitually because we had no choice - it was watch then or miss it! Now I can see segments on YouTube & the whole bulletin on TVNZ+ or ThreeNow later in the evening. I can download RNZ news bulletins & segments on my podcast app & listen anytime (and actually prefer RNZ news as more succinct & with no advt!)
On the other hand, I have fond memories of many of the people who have worked at TV3 over the years & it was my go-to TV News until the American owners took over - hard to pinpoint, but the tone shifted & so did I! Very emotional tonight watching the last bulletin - whatever happened, it is people out of work who have families to support that is the real tragedy, as well as the loss of another news source.
The David Farrier Webworm retrospective at least gave me a smile to start the day - there were many naughty & irreverent times on TV3, especially late at night!

Why not do an article on the economic, environmental and carbon costs of pets?
I remember research from decades ago about a medium-large dog having the same size footprint as a medium SUV!
Good luck to Newshub Live. I watch One news on catch up because it manages to be both tedious and shallow. The weather is by far the best part.
More in-depth reports (stories, call them what you will) and less cutting LIVE to people standing outside with nothing happening, please.
