The latest news numbers show Sunrise lost a quarter of its audience in November while NZI Business and Breakfast continued to edge ahead.
AGB NMR data shows Sunrise had just under 30,000 viewers watching on average each morning in October compared to just over 22,000 viewers on average each morning in November – a drop of 25%.
Tonight and Nightline audiences have remained fairly static but Campbell Live’s audience has dropped again (by almost 20,000 from October) and was beaten on more than a third of the days in November by a late night news programme.

After another series of exposing dodgy practices, 3's award-winning consumer affairs series Target concludes its 11th season on Tuesday, November 10th at 7:30pm on 3.
Fronted by Jeanette Thomas and Brooke Howard-Smith, over the season Target has provided useful consumer information in an entertaining and informative style, and kept viewers informed of shady practices and products around the country.
The Hidden Camera segment has provided insightful evidence of good and bad work practices, and busted more than a few dodgy workmen this season.
Inefficient tillers, handymen, taxi drivers, car valets and motels at popular holiday spots have all been put under the spotlight by the Target team.
Read moreTarget's one sided shame
Target has had an interesting year when it comes to courting controversy. After a botch up with contaminated food samples, one Ponsonby cafe was put on the brink of bankruptcy. Now, last week's episode of Target about copyright infringement has the Creative Freedom Foundation calling foul as the clearly biased story misrepresented the facts to the watching audience.
Target's episode on illegal downloads, 'Shame On You', presented one side of an ongoing debate about copyright infringement online - that of NZFACT and RIANZ. For the past few years these groups have lobbied to be able to accuse New Zealanders and have them punished without a trial.

TARGET No WOF for mopeds, Procrastination the name of the game.
I saw a repeat episode of Target this afternoon were there are mopeds that should be run off the road (only by law), cheaply made Chinese crap, (not required by law to have a warrant of fitness)as seen on TV3 not only is the material used is crap but also the workmanship is crap.
Consider this; You are driving in your car someone on their moped coming towards you, their moped breaks up, (if you saw Target you would know what I am on about) they lose control of their moped they come towards you, you run over him/her and kill them. would wreck your happiness or what? a bit of a long shot I know, but "you never know what happens in the big city"
Say NO now before it is too late!
