This concerns mainly the windsurfer race which was on during the 6pm news.
What I thought was funny, that the race had just finished in the background with Peter Williams saying we well have the results for you later then they switched back to the TVNZ news. I think Wendy Petre had a funny look on her face when they went back to her, as I think she thought they would of stayed with the Olympics.
Well done TVNZ again.

(But being assured of continued funding helps too.)


Perhaps we could nominate them for a well-earned putty medal?

Rearrange these words to make a sentence : TVNZ a piss-up in a brewery couldn't organise

And you can probably guarentee the free to air stuff (Prime) will be better that what TVNZ have produced this year. There is a component to the contract that demands some free to air footage.

TVNZ suck at the sports coverage, everyone complained about the netball going to Sky but you barely got 2 games a week mostly delayed when TVNZ did it, Sky broadcast every game live!!

Bet that will be SD and delayed package coverage,. If you want the HD and live stuff you will need to pay Sky lots of money.. say $120 / month which is what HD currently is..

Remember there is four years till the next games I'm sure it'll be HD by then, of course Sky will be in Super HD or something so it may still look average. Most of the TVNZ stuff is delayed anyway.
