Take a look at the ad for the tv show on the right of the panel. Very creative TVNZ even if it is just a computer generated ad based on word recognition.

On a more serious note there is a very good discussion with Peter Lineham from Massey University regarding the church here: http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/price-religion-destiny-church-3102501/video

TVNZ trying to surpress video

June 9th, 2009 by Brad Heap

TVNZ are trying to take this video off the net, now there are many blogs that are trying to make it viral.

There is nothing wrong with the video, it is clear that the reporter was happy that the transmission had gone ahead smoothly, TVNZ’s excuse for trying to take it down is fairly poor: http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/tv/2484837/Wendy-Petrie-fist-pump-video-removed

TVNZ News gets it wrong.

New Zealand’s “uplifting” attitude at its best

The link above is to the TVNZ Olympics Message Board.

But unless you want to be disgusted at the attitude of the majority of posters I wouldn’t recommend clicking on the link.

TVNZ is doing an amazing job covering the Olympics. They have four channels of coverage (TV One, Freeview Ch20 and two online channels).

But despite all this people are still complaining. I personally enjoyed the NZ vs Brazil soccer game which was aired on TV One (the main NZ channel).

New Zealanders need to get a grip and be thankful for how much coverage they are getting for free.

TVNZ surely paid top dollar to get the coverage, Sky TV would have been surely trying hard to out bid them.

Imagine the Olympics on Sky. a) Not everyone could get it – Sky costs, TVNZ is free. b) Unless you paid more it would not be in High Def. c) You would not have four channels of coverage – three channels at the absolute max. d) You would still have ads – like the live Formula 1. e) People would still complain.
