Today in History on TVNZ 7

So, not surprisingly, it is clear TVNZ is struggling with content for both of its new digital channels. This includes now having Te Karere on TVNZ 7 at 10:10pm on top of all the other previous times it repeats on the channel.

I have the perfect option for this time slot: How about have a ‘Today in History’ show from 10:10-11:00, in which the One News hour from 10 years ago(or another time frame) on that date be broadcast. We’ve seen the return of retro Shortland St, and I’m sure this new idea would go down extremely well with the news junkies TVNZ7 is aimed at.

Also, TVNZ own all the rights to their news bulletins, so they would not have to face the challenges of obtaining rights they usually do to get other programmes put on air!

Let me know your thoughts, and lets really make our opinions felt - crowd the digital message board on the TVNZ website, email the TVNZ digital team. This could go down really well to popularise the channel with its launch on Sky.

Come on – what would you choose at 10:00 - Te Karere or looking back in history??
