Carrying on the theme of deleted TV3 current affairs shows…’Story’ 10 August 2015-16 December 2016.

“At the end of 2016, I basically left TV3 at the end of that horrific current affairs show Story I was working on, where we were pretending to do current affairs at 7pm, which as we all know doesn’t happen any more.” – Heather du Plessis-Allan, NZ Herald (Sep 2021)

“But Garner says the loss of his show doesn’t compare to the death of his father or when he was separated from his children when his relationship with fellow broadcaster Mihi Forbes ended.” – Current affairs show Story to be axed by MediaWorks, Stuff (2016)

Current Affairs shows stopped being able to sell ad space. We now have evening magazine shows mixing ‘infotainment’ with advertising and propaganda in disguise implemented with things you probably already saw on your own social media earlier that same day.
