| 799553 | 2009-08-08 22:47:00 | I've already donated $80. Apparently all the stars and stuff are doing it for free? "Apparently" they are doing it for free - I have my big '?' From memory, in 1988, Telethon raised about $6 m and later on, ended up TVNZ gave them an invoice of $3 m for the coverage and staff overtime wages! Well, that was only part of the "expenses", though. The above figures might not be correct but shouldn't be too far out. |

TV3 have already publicly announced that all production expenses have been paid for - i.e. they won't be taking a cut from the donations to cover costs. |

TV3 may have announced that all "production expenses" have been paid for but don't forget that there are one thousand and one "other" expenses which may surface. Whatever it is, I won't donate a single cent, not ever. |

Whatever it is, I won't donate a single cent, not ever. You are way out of line. TV3 are paying for the production costs out of their own pocket - I know this for a fact. Sponsorships have also been secured to cover significant expenses. TV3 is not taking any 'cut' of any proceeds so I suggest you shut your pie hole unless you are in possession of facts. Nice work killjoy..... |
