The Crowd Goes Wild returns at new time of 6:30pm

Mark Richardson and Andrew Mulligan are preparing for a new year of sports news mayhem as only they know how, as The Crowd Goes Wild kicks off 2011 in a brand new early evening slot of 6.30pm on Prime from Monday January 17th.

Prime has returned the popular sports magazine show to an earlier evening slot as the lead in to its 7pm evening News bulletin, something the duo are looking forward to.

“To be fair it’s only going to disrupt my sleep pattern all over again as I’ve only just got used to the late nights,” said Mark Richardson, delightedly admitting it was a small price to pay to have the half hour sports entertainment show beaming into the nation’s living rooms at 6.30pm.

Co-host Andrew Mulligan is equally as thrilled with the new time.  “Nothing leads into Prime Evening News better than a light hearted look at the days sports highlights.  It’s a nod to the world that things are in their rightful place – after all we’re not alone in thinking sports should take priority over News all the time,” he said.
 
Mark and Andrew, who recently published their first book, The Crowd Goes Wild: Year in Sport, will again be joined by roving reporters James McOnie and Hayley Holt as they bring viewers the latest sporting news in their own special way.  And this year the show’s popular slots including Smashed ‘em Bro will be joined by some new features including handy tips for viewers on the best spots to undertake their favourite sporting past-times.
 
The Crowd Goes Wild can be found in its new 6.30pm time slot from January 17th, only on Prime.

Commentary

After not covering the story at all last night, ONE News’ story on the Afghanistan raid was largely (if not entirely) covered by 3 News as their lead story last night. 

When watching Heather du Plessis-Allan’s story, I wasn’t a fan of the use of the word “spike”.  Figures quoted were:

On the sickness benefit in 2001 were 1115 alcohol addicts and 768 drug addicts and in 2010 there were 2326 and 2316 respectively. Whenever these types of figures are quoted, the first thing I want to know is context/comparison, i.e. how much has the overall sickness benefit population grown in this time? 

According to the Ministry of Social Development’s website, the number of people on the sickness benefit has grown by approximately 69% in this period.  If we aren’t given this baseline, how do we know if it’s a spike relative to the rest of those on sickness benefits?

We were away for Christmas and it felt a little surreal (and somewhat deja vu) tuning in for the 6pm news – having not heard any for a couple of days – and seeing Rawdon Christie again on ONE News announcing the cluster of aftershocks. 

Normally Christmas/Boxing Day are very light news nights with the cliche set of holiday stories filling the bulletin (of course, the Boxing Day tsunami an exception).  I said this last time, but Rawdon Christie does an excellent job. 

3 News had a viewer video of the aftershock and Jeff Hampton’s report was really thorough. 

As I sat watching the bulletins, I did wonder for a moment if the bulletins was over-emphasising the aftershocks due to the lack of other news at this time of year.  Not being there myself, I can’t judge this fully. 

I was impressed at the thorough coverage, given that the networks are probably running on more skeleton staff/crew at this time of year. 

Stories #4/5 on 3 News are your cliche Boxing Day stories that seem to run every single year.
