1192651 2011-04-06 23:22:00 Never saw a single program on there I wanted to watch. Probably a good call. wratterus (105)
1192652 2011-04-06 23:31:00 Its a good start, Its just spending money so people can have jobs.

Now they need to chop the maori channels.

1192653 2011-04-06 23:39:00 I won't miss it, of all the new channels added since freeview came along I can't remember ever watching any of them for more than a few minutes.

Even the shows I do watch now I let TiVo record and watch them later, who can handle not fast forwarding adds.

1192655 2011-04-07 00:32:00 When TVNZ7 was a news channel with some relevant comment programmes it was worth watching, but since inheriting all the junk from the late TVNZ6 it has lost its value.
Why can't it be returned to a news channel? I am sure many like me would put up with 5-minute ad breaks at 25 past and 5 to each hour to pay for it.

1192656 2011-04-07 04:33:00 Who cares - If they put all the worthwhile programs onto one channel, it could broadcast the lot next Monday night starting at 5PM and be finished by 6:30. Then they could shut down for twelve months, or however long it takes to get 90 watchable minutes saved up. R2x1 (4628)

Except now our tax payers dollars are going to fund NZ on Air to make programs that will only show on pay TV!
