    Hear hear! Turf 'em out and bus 'em all to the orchards to pick
    fruit. Would be the first productive work they've done in their lives.

    https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/510562/tvnz-s-total-revenue-falls-13-point-5-percent-as-ad-revenue-shrinks

    TVNZ 6 month results: $4.6m loss plus $12m impairment charge -- this
    is loss of "goodwill", i.e., they were forced to cut their advertising
    charges thus getting less advertising income compared with
    expectations. Wouldn't surprise me if the cut-off of government dosh contributed to that lower-than-expected revenue.

    I want to see Jessica "too-much" McKay in orchards picking apples 10
    hours a day! Is that too-much to ask?!?

    To his credit, even Winston Peters, with his long-time love-hate† relationship with the media, described the closure as a “tragedy”.

    †OK, hate-hate.

    A proposal was put to TVNZ <https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/media-insider-newshub-tvnz-bosses-secret-discussions-for-joint-news-service-one-week-before-closure-announcement/M5AAXXL5O5BNVI7HBSJ37PZC4A/>
    to create a combined news-gathering network, reminiscent of the old
    NZPA, but this was turned down.

    Discovery boss Glen Kyne described this as “baffling” and “disappointing”, particularly after TVNZ announced its own losses
    today.
