ONE News:

1. Heavy rain forecast – Canterbury (Live cross, Tom McRae)
2. Flooding warning – Otago
3. Heavy rain forecast (Jim Hickey)
4. DHB Investigation (Exclusive, Live cross, Catherine Wedd)
5. Emma Wood’s press conference (Vicki Wilkinson-Baker)

3 News:

1. Emma Wood’s press conference (Melissa Davies)
2. The unborn baby law – Australia (Live cross, Amanda Gillies)
3. Rugby player deported
4. Duchess of York apologises (Ingrid Hipkiss)
5. News of the World reporter (Tony Ciprian)

Commentary:

We’re doing these news updates from the tropical paradise of Hawaii (and the home of Lost!), and it looks like we’re really escaping some nasty weather back home.  When you’re out of the country, the news takes on a different slant.  As expected, ONE News had a big emphasis on the bad weather which is forecast but 3 News didn’t.

3 News had the News of the World tabloid story high up in the bulletin (ONE News advertised it for later on down) about the Duchess of York taking payment in an undercover camera story and then apologising.  This was followed by a very tabloid story on the reporter in the sting’s past stories. All this before the heavy rain/flooding/forecast.

Verdict:

ONE News – while I may criticise them every so often for going overboard with weather stories, 3 News filled the Top 5 with two tabloid stories, a brief mention of a rugby player’s deportation and a story about a potential law change in Australia – before anything to do with the bad weather in New Zealand.

TV3 and C4 viewers can now enjoy a new and improved On Demand service which will increase offerings of key premium international and local shows.

Fans of TV3 favourites including GLEE, Americas Next Top Model, NCIS LA, Modern Family, Underbelly and Bones will now be able to view online immediately after their free to air broadcast.  

Home and Away fans are in for a special treat. From today – the last 5 episodes of the popular soap will be available to view online at tv3.co.nz  

Local shows like Outrageous Fortune, The Kitchen Job, Hitched, RadiRadiRah, 7 Days and Target, along with current affair offerings The Nation and Campbell Live will also be available to on demand viewers.  There are plans for more shows to join the On Demand schedule throughout the year.

The keystone of the new service is the upgraded video player which offers viewers a TV-like experience with higher quality video and shorter ad-breaks.   

The clean design, easy to use search function, light dimming functionality, show reminder alerts, an ad-break countdown that tells you when the your show will return all mean this VoD offering is now the benchmark in the NZ market.  

The new service also offers a number of new opportunities for advertisers.

Siobhan McKenna Director of Interactive comments: “TV3 and C4 have fantastic shows. All we had to do was create an online viewing experience that makes it as easy as possible for people to watch videos online, while also delivering advertisers value for money ad positions. It was as easy and as complicated as that.”
  
RESEARCH SHOWS:

- Research undertaken by MediaWorks (8,060 unique participants in the VoD survey) has shown that 85% of On Demand viewing is incremental to our TV audience.
- 77% of MediaWorks On Demand viewers are watching online because they missed the show on air – enabling them to keep up with the programme – and stay with it.

Hit series Glee has been renewed for a third season by Fox.

With an overwhelmingly successful first season under its belt and a second in the works, the series has done enough to impress those in charge at Fox.

“In just one year, Glee has transcended the television landscape and emerged as a global pop culture phenomenon,” said Peter Rice, Fox’s entertainment chairman.

“Everything about Glee – from the concept to the characters to the marketing – has been innovative and risky, but with [series creator] Ryan Murphy tapping into the zeitgeist, the risk has paid off with this truly remarkable series,” added Kevin Reilly, the network’s entertainment president.

“Glee has one of the most active, devoted fan bases I’ve ever seen, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to give Gleeks a third season of their favourite show.”

The second half of Glee’s first season premieres here in NZ on June 4 on TV3.

Carly Flynn moving to radio

Ex-Sunrise presenter Carly Flynn is following Oliver Driver’s lead and making the move to radio. The former TV3 reporter will host the breakfast segment of The Breeze radio station from this October. Last month Driver signed on to temporarily co-host a radio show on George FM in the absence of Nick D.

Survivor to actor

Survivor contestant James Clement has landed himself a role on long-running daytime soap The Young and the Restless. The Survivor: Heroes Vs Villians contestant will play a police officer on the show, making his debut in June in the US.

Bret Michaels to attend finale

Reality star Bret Michaels has vowed to attend the season finale of The Celebrity Apprentice in spite of his poor health. The rocker, who is a contestant on the reality show, was hospitalised again last week after suffering a warning stroke but has said he will be in New York for the finale this week.

Shatner sitcom cops criticism

A parents group has slammed the upcoming William Shatner sitcom ‘S*** My Dad Says’ in relation to the offensive title. The Parents’ Television Council has condemned the project which spawned from a popular Twitter page about the ramblings of a retired doctor saying it shows contempt for families and the public.

Damon teases 30 Rock return

Matt Damon has addressed speculation that he will return to 30 Rock after making a guest appearance on the latest season. The 39-year-old has said he would love a spot on the show if they would have him, saying he “had a great time doing it.”

ONE News:

1. Fatal accident – two teenagers – Whangarei (Live cross, Mark Crysell)
2. Fatal accident update – Nayan Woods (Ana Olykan)
3. Fatal accident update – north of Auckland
4. Air India crash survivors (Warning, Melissa Stokes)
5. Survival stories

3 News:

1. Air India crash survivors (Sky)
2. Fatal accident – two teenagers – Whangarei
3. Fatal accident update – Nayan Woods (Juanita Copeland)
4. P found in luggage
5. Foreign mothers’ maternity care (Exclusive, Brook Sabin)

Commentary:

ONE News said that the car in story #1 was going more than 130 km/hr in a 50-70km/hr zone while 3 News merely said that it could be speed related. ONE News had more details on this story.

The survival stories list was rather strange to have in the Top 5, seemed very much a random facts filler story to me.

The follow-on story by Brook Sabin tonight focused on maternity care: at some hospitals only about 20% of maternity costs have been paid by foreign mothers.  He looked at various DHB figures for the costs and amount repaid which was quite low in the cases shown.

Later in the report he says that the majority are paying – so obviously we were shown the worst DHB figures.  It would have been good to have an overall figure, but Brook did say some DHBs didn’t have these figures – so at least a total and proportion paid for the ones they did know would have been good to gauge the overall situation.

Mixed feelings on the bulletins tonight, ONE News had more on the Whangarei crash, but the silly survival stories filler story; 3 News had the exclusive follow-up.

Verdict:

Tie

2. Air India plane crash
3. Foreign patient debt (Exclusive, Brook Sabin)
4. Gisborne homicide
5. Bank robber (Charlotte Tonkin)

Commentary:

The report that TV3 used for the crash (footage from Suvarna news), and then the voice-over from Samantha Hayes used the same incorrect figure of 169 people being on board the plane [Wikipedia says 166]  – however they had the correct number of survivors ( 8 ) [according to the latest details on Wikipedia]. ONE News said 5 or 6 had survived and there were 166 on board.  One of those things I guess where confusion over the numbers exists as the events unfold.

Brook Sabin’s story – while not surprising – was pretty good research to show the level of foreign patient debt existing in New Zealand and discussing what is being done about it; especially in a time when there are cut-backs. Good to see an enclusive breaking a new story.

Hard call to make on which story should lead the bulletin and you could argue either way: a dramatic plane crash in which many died internationally, or a tragic local car crash which killed a young child.

ONE News has given a lot of prominence to the Bangkok story, despite not having a New Zealand reporter over there. [Corrected: Steve Marshall is a Kiwi.]

Which bulletin do you think was better and why?
