The Dominion Post - BBC Pacific

to the Editor 31st March 2013




Sir
When TVNZ or as it was, the NZBC was born it was to be our version of the BBC and some of us would strongly like to see is go back to that noble concept
instead of a receptacle for low cost lightweight trash that it’s current board seems to be taken with.

The axing of the late night BBC World to save a few cents is the last straw. Our State Broadcaster just makes us look pathetic when it thinks it’s roll is to flood our homes with infomercials!

The real cleaver people left in broadcasting are in Radio NZ because they saw a plan to get us back on track and start up a BBC Pacific TV Service based in New Zealand
Which uses BBC international material and Local News from our state broadcaster ..  Or perhaps a Kiwi al jazeera or even a NZ version of PBS to fill this Intellectual wasteland.

A pity it had not made it to negotiation, it would be bloody nice to have a GROWN UPS  free to air channel again.  But I think it’s time will come if we demand it...
Lets get back to the Future!
