| 354753 | 2005-05-13 10:28:00 | austvhistorynz.tripod.com At first I had very little if any chance of finding this, a piece of history :-) Hmm maybe people will want to remove it, fair enough I guess. You don't get memories like this so easy. Reference: www.filmarchive.org.nz Film and TV in ‘81 New Zealand had two television channels in 1981, and approximately 78 percent of licensed television sets were colour sets. Programmes shown in New Zealand that year included American shows like Hill Street Blues, Battlestar Galactica, One Day at a Time and Dallas, as well as locally made shows such as Country Calendar, Mastermind, Ready to Roll, Koha and Under the Mountain. In between programmes, there was less advertising than today; TV1 played no ads on Fridays, TV2 played no ads on Saturdays and neither channels played ads on Sundays. That year, TV1 was on air for an average of 88 hours a week – about 12 and a half hours a day – while TV2 was on air for about 71 hours a week. The end of each day’s transmission was indicated by a short animation of a kiwi shutting down the television cameras and going to sleep in a satellite dish. Known as ‘the Goodnight Kiwi’, it was much loved by the New Zealand children who were never allowed to stay up and watch him. |

| 354757 | 2005-05-13 10:41:00 | Some of us may remember days when you go to bed at night as normal, and not surf to find the least worse infomercial before after or during whining about being sold things ' for 6 easy payments of' Maybe now its the late 20 something generation. Perhaps almost in a way a media generation apart from the world as it may be now. if it were to be true that the technology does increase in proportion to what is present, it may well be that the rate of prolification of culture change may be further expounded to speed and further variance at a factor of change not clearly expressed as its end purpose, unless perhaps it were to evolve that in a single childhood children could become part of one or more media evolutionary changes questioning things of this nature at a rate not yet seen by the 10 somethings |
