Awesome result for you Russell and the crew - and for all us fans!
-
That is truly awesome news. Congratulations
-
merc,
Stoked! I seem to remember suggesting TV to you some years back ;-) You and the team do it well, TV3's gain and all that.

A good day for mediaphiles.

Hebe,
Good.

Congratulations! Pleased to see there's still room for stimulating conversation and intelligent argument on our screens.

It amazes me that the private television channel is more dedicated to public service television than the publically-funded channel. I mean, compare and contrast: The Nation (and Think Tank) vs Q&A. Campbell Live vs Close-Up. Sunday vs 60 Minutes. Inside NZ vs... sorry, I used up all of TVNZ's "current affairs."
Not to sully this occasion with a bitch and moan, however. Congratulations, Russell.

Bloody good news. Well done, well deserved.
-
You mean.....I won't be having cold turkey afterall??? Noice.
-
very well done. Now to see whether the standard of drinks are the same at Flower St...

Great news! Any chance you could make it an hour long? Seems to fly by too quickly.
-
Congratulations, this is a richly-deserved success for you and all the Media7 team!
-
Yay - but if they commission a new serious of Hori Shore... I mean, The GC there will be no quarter given to our new media overlords. The squandered opportunity upsets me more than the show itself...

Excellent. I expect a three-fold increase in TV3 Saturday morning television viewing as a result. And I don't mean 32%.
Well done and congrats to everyone at Media 7.

What he said, with an exclamation mark !

Brilliant news! And I'm excited knowing that the Media(n) team will continuing working. Jobs are good.
But what does this do for the Save TVNZ7 movement? Along with Back Benches, Media7 was one of the flagship shows of the channel, and one of the reasons why people wanted to save the channel. What will be left to save of TVNZ7?

And so shall the phoenix rise from the ashes...

Excellent news! (you could have taken the opportunity to rename it Hardnews, for old times sake!)
Is there still a plan to podcast it? Living in London, it's a great way to keep up with what's happening in NZ... (happy to help with that if needed)

Wonderful!
-
Congratulations to Media7 team! Looking forward to interesting stories and good debate.

This is great news, Russell. Fantastic.

I'll have to have a conversation with them about that. How much of T3 on demand is geoblocked for you at the moment, out of interest?

Congratulations, my love. That's fantastic news. Will there still be live tapings? Because, frankly, Saturday mornings are better for me than Wednesday afternoons.

There is no saving TVNZ 7 – and that has been the case for some time. It is gone.
But the drive to create a new public service channel for the long term is still vital. The “Save TVNZ 7” name needs to be retired in favour of something that denotes the desire for a new, independent public service channel.

News that has made my day, as I sniffle and cough through a bloody cold. I was fearing that opportunities for field trips for my students might have disappeared.
Still, it only diminishes a little the gathering gloom around the demise of TVNZ7. I was part of a panel at the uni last night (with David Beatson, Claire Curran, Mark Servian and Bomber Bradbury), facing an overflowing lecture theatre full of citizens enraged at the decision to let the channel die,
