Great news - congratulations. NZ definitely needs YOUR media show. And it will be a good fit with Maori TV.

This is a very interesting thread. Just a pity the reason that it has come into existence. Thanks Russell and your team, it has been great to have been a part of your Media world for the last years, and I'm going to miss that perspective of the world.

My hope now is that Labour will win, and will then keep its promises to do something about public television.

Thanks again for your informative, and entertaining, and thought provoking programs.

Would user anger / frustration / sadness expressed to NZ On Air help ? If so what is the best method / place to do it ( eg email address)

Maybe time to start an online petition ? Save Media 3

Do you also have to shop for the TV channel again, for the next series ? Would be nice to have Backbenchers come back on TV3

Have you seen this ?
