I haven't watched broadcast TV at home in close to a decade, and our TV isn't even hooked up to an aerial any more, and probably never will be. Even before that, I preferred to read the news rather than watch it.

I just had brief look at their website, their reporting is also nothing special. A bizarre number of stories about John Key's opinions on things, for some reason.

It's a sign of the times, I think.

Yep, it's been over a decade since I watched terrestrial TV. Seeing it at my mum's was a shock. I couldn't watch it. She also has TalkBack radio on all day...

Oh boy, I bet you get some quality reckons on talkback.

much the same here, no broadcast TV. Will occasionally watch live streamed or on demand news - but maybe only once or twice a year

We watch the chase and the news most nights, which are good for the kids imho. We watch the odd housing show or doco on tv as well, although all of this can be streamed on tvnz+.
