[edit] 3 News

The flagship 18:00 bulletin of 3 News was originally known as 3 National News and first went on air in November 1989 when TV3 began broadcasting. Its original presenter was previously a BCNZ and TVNZ anchor Phillip Sherry, who was replaced by Joanna Paul in 1990. When Paul opted not to renew her contract with the network, TV3 hired ex-TVNZ newsreader and game show host, John Hawkesby.

In 1998, TV3 revamped its presentation, shortening the show's name to 3 News and adding another presenter. They initially planned for Hawkesby and ex-TVNZ journalist Carol Hirschfeld to co-host. The planned Hawkesby-Hirschfeld team never eventuated, with John Campbell taking the male anchor role when Hawkesby walked out of TV3 to host One News. TV3 later sued TVNZ for "interfering with the relationship" between Hawkesby and TV3. The two parties settled out of court at the end of 2000 for an undisclosed amount.[1]

In 2005, Hirschfeld and Campbell left their anchor positions to collaborate on current affairs show Campbell Live. They were replaced by Hilary Barry and Mike McRoberts. In the same year, TV3's parent company Mediaworks New Zealand launched Radio Live, which simulcasts so as to reach commuters still driving home from work, especially in the Auckland market.

A new 3 News studio set began use in September 2008, to coincide with a new presentation package.
