| 1163342 | 2010-12-19 19:06:00 | Every year at this time of year TVNZ shuts down its main programs. Business, Breakfast, Q & A, 60 minutes, Close Up etc etc. This really annoys me ? Do they think the the whole world goes on holiday and there is no news ? OK everyone needs a holiday, but surely the presenters could stagger their holidays. Now we are going to be subjected to a whole lot of re-runs, housing programs, pet shows, kitchen shows etc. |

| 1163346 | 2010-12-19 19:50:00 | I wouldn't like to be a TV presenter, although I wouldn't mind there salaries. Although we only see most of them for an hour, half hour or 3 hours they work behind the scenes for at least 2 or 3 times longer than they are on screen for helping prepare the program. Most also work unsociable hours breakfast presenters getting up at about 4-00am or doing the late news maybe getting home at 11-00pm or later. They deserve a break like the rest of us and have earned it. :) |

| 1163347 | 2010-12-19 19:54:00 | People in TV news work 12 hour days, five or six days a week, with no overtime. I think I can begrudge them a long break. | Siobhan Keogh (16063) | ||
| 1163348 | 2010-12-19 19:55:00 | It's actually to do with the rating system which is not done at this time of year. So the channels can serve up what they like when they like. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||

| 1163350 | 2010-12-19 21:20:00 | Iwe only see most of them for an hour, half hour or 3 hours they work behind the scenes for at least 2 or 3 times longer than they are on screen for helping prepare the program. Most also work unsociable hours breakfast presenters getting up at about 4-00am Hmm. Then it's what - 1/2 hr x 3 = 1 1/2 hrs. Terrible. Plenty of shift workers, early starters and such getting up real early too, they don't get a big holiday........ Anyway, they do have breaks at other times, you get the stand in presenters. Why not just do the same at Xmas? |

| 1163351 | 2010-12-19 22:07:00 | Now we are going to be subjected to a whole lot of re-runs, housing programs, pet shows, kitchen shows etc. But Digby: re-runs, housing programs, pet shows, kitchen shows et al are the normal fare anyway. Don't you mean we just have even more of them? :groan: |
