they aren’t renewing kim hills’ contract…and she’s outta there….
tvnz are also cutting foreign correspondent…citing poor ratings as the reason for their decisions….
um..tvnz….i really think your problem there is not so much to do with the quality of the shows/interviewer….but your scheduling…
can i suggest that programming anything other than eye-candy after 10pm is a recipie for failure….no matter how worthy the product….
haven’t you worked out yet that there is a collective off switch in new zealand….?.and it kicks in at about 10pm….any viewing recquiring intellectual input from the viewer is doomed once that switch is flicked….
why can’t/don’t you schedule these shows earlier..?..when the nations’ brain is still engaged..?…tv3 do that….
and we do want our brains exercised ..(just ensure it is before 10pm)….witness the new/surprising interest in the documentary genre….
talk shows are about as much as we can handle..just before sleep….
(btw…nb prime..why is letterman on so late..?…why not try a 9.30-10pm start..and build your audience…)
