Campbell Live's sorry replacement cannot survive.

Sorry, TV3, Monday 24 August 2015
“We Cover the Big Story of the Day. 7PM MON-THU on TV3.”—Mediaworks publicity blurb
HEATHER DU PLESSIS-ALLAN: Bad news today Dunc—One Direction’s broken up!
DUNCAN GARNER: I don’t CARE. I really don’t.
HEATHER DU PLESSIS-ALLAN: [suddenly uneasy, isolated] Heh, heh….

    Heather and Dunc’s carefully scripted banter takes up half the time – the rest is 3 very short once over lightly “stories” of dubious worth and that’s our lot – Duncan said about one story “who makes me say all this stuff” – so really they have no editorial control, they are mere presenters. This is what Julie Christie wanted – John Campbell from what I understand, had editorial control over Campbell Live and that’s why he had to go – If he felt a story warranted it, he would stay with it for the full half hour, not these pathetic little soundbites of a few minutes duration to be followed with inane fake banter – message to Dunc and Heather – we are NOT interested in what you like to gossip about – do that on your own time! As a reporter Heather was pretty good I thought, but now , boy is she really getting on my wick!! Seven Sharp is slightly worse because of the Hateful little Hosking gnome, but unfortunately, only slightly!
