History [edit]
Television news in New Zealand started in 1960 with the introduction of television. These bulletins were broadcast from the main centres (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin) operating independently of each other due to technical constraints. The Wahine Disaster in April 1968 highlighted the need for a nationwide news network; footage shot in Wellington could not be broadcast in other centres around the country at the same time.
In October 1969 the country-wide TV network was completed. The first network news broadcast was live on 3 November 1969 at 7:35pm, read by Dougal Stevenson. This bulletin was possible due to microwave links being established between the four main centres; the programme was called NZBC Network News. Initially, it was read by Philip Sherry, Dougal Stevenson or Bill Toft on a rotating roster.
Prior to the building of the Warkworth Station in 1971, international programmes could not be received live – the footage had to be flown into New Zealand and was often days old.
Angela D'Audney was the first female newsreader in New Zealand, from 1973. The Network News featured many other newsreaders until the NZBC was dissolved in 1975. The programme was then renamed simply News. The main bulletin was revamped in 1987. It was renamed Network News with Judy Bailey and Neil Billington initially co-presenting. Richard Long and Tony Ciprian alternately presented and produced sports news. Later that year Long took over from Billington as 'Network News' news co-anchor, the beginning of a partnership that would continue for much of the next fifteen years. Ciprian moved to the new commercial channel TV3, the station's first sports news producer. He was with 3 News for almost 20 years.
From the 1970s, four regional news programmes were broadcast – one in each of the four main regions: Top Half (Auckland and the upper North Island), Today Tonight (Wellington and the lower North Island and originally the upper South Island), The Mainland Touch (Christchurch, Canterbury and later the upper South Island) and The South Tonight (Otago and Southland). Initially, these programmes ran for 20 minutes during the main news programme at 6.30pm, between the sports and weather news. They were later moved to after the main Network News bulletin; screening at 7:00pm, resulting in an hour of news each weekday evening (6:30-7:30pm). Weekend and summer bulletins remained 30 minutes in length. On 11 April 1989 TVNZ launched a new nightly current affairs show, Holmes, which was presented by Paul Holmes. Holmes replaced the regional bulletins' timeslot of 7:00pm. Regional shows were then moved to TV2 and were discontinued in December 1990.
1989 saw the introduction of the first One News foreign correspondents – Liam Jeory in London and Susan Wood in Sydney. The 6:30pm bulletin was reduced back to 30 minutes on weekdays.
In 1989, Network News was relaunched as One Network News; it's renaming due to competition from new broadcasting station TV3's news programme 3 National News. In 1995, the main bulletin was again extended from 30 to 60 minutes, screening from the now familiar 6:00pm. The change coincided with the unveiling of a new studio set which was used until 2003. On 11 August 1997, the early morning Telstra Business and Breakfast shows were first aired; Telstra Business was hosted by Michael Wilson; Breakfast hosted by Susan Wood and Mike Hosking.
The end of 1997 saw the replacement of weekend news presenters Angela D'Audney and Tom Bradley with husband and wife Simon Dallow and Alison Mau. Bradley resigned, but D'Audney stayed as a backup presenter for other bulletins until her death in February 2002, from a brain tumour.
In 1998, TVNZ signed 3 News anchor John Hawkesby to replace Richard Long from the start of 1999. But when Haweskby began presenting One Network News at 6pm alongside Judy Bailey, there was a public outcry over the separation of Bailey and Long, that lead to Long reinstated as co-anchor at 6pm three weeks later. Hawkesby later took TVNZ to court, a dispute that he subsequently won.
The show was renamed again on 31 December 1999, this time to the current name of One News.
2003 saw a major shake up of TVNZ's news and current affairs programming with entering head Bill Ralston making sweeping changes to the formats of many programmes. A new state-of-the-art studio came into use for One News programmes, but many presenters were culled. The changes saw the end of Long and Bailey's 15-year partnership; from January 2004, the main 6pm bulletin reverted to a single-headed broadcast with Judy Bailey as anchor. Jim Hickey, TVNZ's most popular weather presenter, and sports presenter April Bruce (née Ieremia) also left in 2003. Jim returned to One News in 2007.
Close Up was launched in November 2004, when Paul Holmes, host of the Holmes programme, resigned following failed contract negotiations. Close Up followed the same format as Holmes, but was hosted by Susan Wood until her sudden resignation in 2006. Mark Sainsbury became the main host following her resignation.
In October 2005, TVNZ announced that it would not be renewing long-standing flagship broadcaster Judy Bailey's contract; some observers believe this was a direct reaction to the programme's market share decline in Auckland to 3 News. An emotional Bailey signed off for the final time at the end of the 6pm One News bulletin on 23 December 2005. She was TVNZ's longest serving newsreader and had been reporting and presenting with both NZBC and TVNZ for 34 years. When the 6pm edition of One News returned after the Christmas break of 2005–2006, it reverted to double-headed presentation with Wendy Petrie and Simon Dallow taking over from Bailey.
The weekend 6pm bulletin remained single-headed until September 2008, when popular presenter Peter Williams joined Bernadine Oliver-Kirby as co-anchor.
Sir Paul Holmes returned to TVNZ as the host on the new political programme Q+A in 2009. He hosted the programme until late 2012, when illness prevented him from continuing his duties. He died on 1 February 2013.
TVNZ celebrated One News' 40th birthday on 3 November 2009 with some archival footage available on their website. Later that year, Jennie Goodwin, David Beatson, Dougal Stevenson and Lindsay Perigo returned to read one Breakfast news segment each.
A Saturday edition of Breakfast was broadcast from 3 September 2011, hosted by Rawdon Christie and Toni Street. This was broadcast until the end of 2012.
TVNZ commissioned a revamped news/current affairs set on 23 January 2012. This set is used for the broadcast of the following programmes:
- One News
- Breakfast
- Seven Sharp
- Te Karere
- Good Morning
- Q+A
- 20/20
- Marae Investigates
- Fair Go
In September 2012 an announcement was made that TVNZ would discontinue Close Up at the end of 2012. The final Close Up programme screened on November 30, 2012 and in early 2013, an announcement was made detailing the replacement show, named Seven Sharp. The first show screened on February 4, 2013.
Saturday Breakfast and One News at 4:30 were cancelled at the end of 2012.
Since 2013, Susan Wood has hosted Q+A.
News Bulletins [edit]

The bulletin is usually structured like this:
- Pre-Opening Sequence
- The bulletin starts off with the weather presenter explaining the current weather situation, standing in front of a map of New Zealand showing the country's satellite imagery that day.
- First Segment (10–15 minutes):
- Local news items
- Major international stories

On weekdays, One News screens multiple bulletins during the day. This includes One News Breakfast, hosted by Peter Williams on Monday-Wednesday and Melissa Stokes on Thursday and Friday. These are 5–10 minute news and weather updates that screen on the half hour during NZI Business and TV One's Breakfast show (news 6–8.30am, weather 6.35–8.35am). Weather reports during Breakfast are presented by Sam Wallace.
At 10am and 11am, during Good Morning, five-minute news and weather updates screen and are hosted by the same presenter for Breakfast news that day. One News also produces two half-hour bulletins, which screen at Midday and approximately 10:30pm. The midday bulletin, One News at Midday is also hosted by the same presenter for Breakfast news and the late night broadcast, One News Tonight is presented by Melissa Stokes with Renee Wright presenting the weather report.
Weekdays [edit]
- Flagship bulletin at 6pm
- Weekdays every half hour from 6am-9am, at 10am, 11am, Midday, and 10:30pm
Weekends [edit]

Current Affairs Programmes [edit]
Seven Sharp [edit]
- Weekdays at 7pm
- Presented by Greg Boyed, Alison Mau and Jesse Mulligan
- Reporters: Brodie Kane, Craig Stanaway, Jehan Casinader, Matt Chisholm, Gill Higgins, Haydn Jones, Heather du Plessis-Allan, Michael Holland
Seven Sharp is a half-hour current affairs programme, which features mostly current event or local human interest stories.
Seven Sharp is TVNZ's new initiative to the 7pm current affairs time slot, replacing Close Up and long serving broadcaster, Mark Sainsbury. The show will be presented by Alison Mau, Greg Boyed and Jesse Mulligan. The dynamic trio will present the days news with wittiness and give New Zealanders an insight look into the stories making headlines.
Breakfast [edit]
- Weekdays 6am-9am.
- Presented by Toni Street and Rawdon Christie
- Weather: Sam Wallace
- Business: Nadine Chalmers-Ross
Breakfast is a three-hour-long magazine style news and current affairs programme, which looks at the day's headlines and events happening around New Zealand. News, sport and weather are updated every half hour, with business news being updated at around 6:40am, 7:10am and 8:10am.
News segments are presented by Peter Williams Mondays-Wednesdays, and Melissa Stokes Thursdays-Fridays. Sam Wallace is the weather presenter and roving reporter weekdays, whilst Sam Wallace fills this role on Saturdays.
Breakfast received a new look and set, along with other news and current affairs programmes on 23 January 2012. Plasma screens and lighting effects make up the majority of the set design, meaning ease of changeover between Breakfast and Good Morning, which are to share the same set, and air live, back to back. Changes to the show's format from January 2012 mean the first half hour of the show will be more formal, and feature the presenters behind news desks, from 6am until 6:30, when the presenters will then move to couch to continue with its traditional, more relaxed style from 6:30 until 9am. This format change was made as a result of TV3's competing Firstline programme which airs at the same time, and is a more formal approach to morning news and current affairs.
From 2013 changes were made to the format of the show. New segments were also introduced along with small changes to the on-screen graphics and the positioning of presenters.
Te Karere [edit]
- Weekdays at 4.00pm
- Presented by Scotty Morrison
