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 (Auckland,

) 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 7:35 pm, read by

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''.

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.

). 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.
