Mike's Minute: The end of an era for TV3 News

The Mike Hosking Breakfast ·

2024/07/04

It feels like it's been coming forever, and in an odd way, it just might have been. When the news division of Warner Bros. turns out the lights tonight, it’s the end of an era. Or, an era. The simple truth is TV3 news never quite cut it and the history of fiscal dysfunction is the major reason why. Some of it was their own doing. Some of it was the unluckiness of who owns you, why they own you and whether they are as invested as they might have been in different circumstances. TV3 never really

It follows a poor debate performance last week, in which Biden lost his way on several occasions. US correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that Biden apparently annoyed some Governors when he met with them yesterday. He says one asked Joe Biden about his health, to which he replied, 'I'm fine, it's just

Whangarei's Mayor says the city will fare well from the government's new housing policy. Housing Minister Chris Bishop's plans to "flood" the country with new homes have raised plenty of questions. Local Government New Zealand says the lack of financial support for subsequent council roading and footpaths is a major concern. Vince Cocurullo told Mike Hosking it won't have that problem. He says Whangarei's council uses some money from developers to upgrade the area's infrastructure. But, he

There’s speculation it's a low voter turnout in the UK, despite projections of a historic and dramatic election result. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party is expected to take up opposition for the first time in 14 years. In the meantime, Keir Starmer's Labour could win the biggest majority since 1832. Times Chief Political Correspondent Aubrey Allegretti told Mike Hosking they're wondering if voter turnout could be very low. He says the opinion polls show record lows for the main

The UK election is set to confirm a landslide Labour victory after 14 years of Tory rule. LBC Breakfast Host Nick Ferrari told Mike Hosking Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer could have his work cut out for him, wrangling what might be the largest majority since the mid-1800s. He says this is the job Sir Keir has dreamt of since he was a boy. Ferrari says in many ways, the real challenge begins once he crosses the threshold of Number 10 Downing St. The final results are expected after 4 this afternoon

A punishing result looks likely for Rishi Sunak's Tory party with all signs pointing to Labour having the UK election in the bag. Labour leader Keir Starmer is expected to take a sweeping victory with a campaign for change propelling his popularity.

The uplifting story of the week for me is the 30% drop in parents taking kids out of school for holidays. It's a single metric and it's one travel agency, albeit a big one, so it's hardly scientific and about to be published in the Lancet. But it's an insight into what might be happening and, even if it is remotely accurate, it’s a sign of several things. Firstly, the power and necessity of Government. Think about it - all David Seymour said was get your kids to school, harden up, we will start

The fact the Government is going ahead with Labour's Fair Digital News Bargaining Bill, albeit with amendments, is not the story. The fact ACT has played the “Agree to Disagree" card is not really the story. The real story is the question of, does it solve the problem? What exactly is the problem? The problem is the media, or at least parts of it, are in a financial hole and have decided that if only we get Facebook and Instagram to the table and get them to give us some money, we can bring back
