History

Television news in New Zealand started in 1960 with the introduction of television. These bulletins were broadcast from New Zealand's four main cities (

) 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, and the extra-tropical cyclone which contributed to the disaster also grounded air traffic preventing the film being flown to other centres. In October 1969 the nationwide 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 the ''

on a rotating roster. Prior to the building of the Warkworth satellite communications station in 1971, international programmes could not be received live – the footage had to be flown into New Zealand and was often days old. The ''NZBC Network News'' featured many other newsreaders until the NZBC was dissolved in 1975. The programme was then renamed as simply ''News''. While the NZBC began broadcasting in colour on 31 October 1973, ''Network News'' continued to primarily broadcast in black-and-white until the NZBC was dissolved on 31 March 1975. This was to avoid refitting the Wellington studio in Waring Taylor Street with colour equipment while awaiting the move to the new purpose-built Avalon television centre.

TV One and TV2/South Pacific Television (SPTV) era (1975–80)

TV One began broadcasting on 1 April 1975 and moved its evening news bulletin to 6:30 pm, with Dougal Stevenson or Bill McCarthy reading the news on a rotating roster until 15 February 1980. The launch of TV One also coincided with the opening of the Avalon television centre, allowing the news to broadcast primarily in colour. TV2 followed suit on 30 June 1975 and its main evening news was initially broadcast at 7 pm before moving to the earlier timeslot of 6 pm by the end of 1975.

and Southland). Initially, these programmes aired at 7:30 pm and ran for half an hour in duration. In February 1982, the main bulletin was revamped and broadcast from 6:30-7:30 pm; the one-hour package incorporated the day's national and international news, regional news programmes and the weather forecast. At the same time, Dunedin's ''7:30 South'' was rebranded as ''The South Tonight'' and TVNZ introduced a feature segment called ''Nationwide''; it contained regional items of national interest, as well as "sidebars" – items which, for example, focused on the human interest element of an event outlined in the network news. In late 1983, ''Nationwide'' was dropped, with the main bulletin extended to fill the time and give greater sports news coverage. During the mid-1980s, Philip Sherry and Tom Bradley shared the role of newsreader on a rotating roster with Richard Long and Tony Ciprian alternately presenting sports news. Weather was presented on alternate nights by Veronica Allum and Sue Scott. The main bulletin was revamped in November 1986 and renamed as the ''Network News'', with

In July 1988, the ''Network News'' was moved to 6 pm and renamed as the ''Network News at Six'' but the weekend bulletin remained at 6:30 pm (as the ''Network News and Sport''). The moving of the ''Network News'' to 6 pm also marked the introduction of computer-generated weather graphics and the arrival of Jim Hickey and Penelope Barr, who replaced Veronica Allum and Sue Scott as weather presenters. On 3 April 1989 TVNZ launched a new nightly current affairs programme, ''

At the same time, the duration of the ''Network News at Six'' was reduced back to 30 minutes and the regional news programmes were transferred to around 5:45 pm on TV2. The year saw the introduction of TVNZ's first foreign correspondents – Liam Jeory in London and Susan Wood in Sydney. In October 1989, the weekend ''Network News and Sport'' was moved from 6:30 pm to 6 pm. In November 1989, the ''Network News'' was relaunched as ''One Network News''; its renaming due to competition from new broadcasting station TV3's news programme ''3 National News''. In December 1989, both ''Top Half'' and ''Today Tonight'' were axed by TVNZ but ''The Mainland Touch'' and ''The South Tonight'' continued for another year and screened on TV One at 5:45 pm as a lead-in to ''One Network News'' at 6 pm, with support from

In February 1995, the main bulletin was again extended from 30 minutes to a full hour, screening from the now familiar 6 pm timeslot, followed by ''Holmes'' at 7 pm. The change coincided with the unveiling of a new studio set which was used until 2003. On 2 January 1995, the main ''One Network News'' bulletin was delayed for 10 minutes after protesters occupied the studio and protested about the Māori language bulletin ''Te Karere'' which was off air over the Christmas and New Year period.
