    Russell, I’m only just getting over your departure from Media Watch…

    I’d have thought Riesling was more of a United Future kind of drink. I’ve never understood the Chardonnay bit either though; shouldn’t it be a red wine?

    I agree about Nippert; he’s good.

    Credit to Lose for reading the whole e-mail

    That surprises me too, but for a different reason…

    Rodgerd,

    The concept that the current levels of child and youth obesity are linked to the absence of sport coverage on free to air TV at first glance seems illogical but it’s spot on.

    My kids and their friends used to play soccerball, but with no huge keenness. Now the Phoenix have come along they’re off to the park whenever they can pretending they’re Shane Smeltz etc.. It’s great.

  • Hard News: Too Good to Be True,

    Good test of SKY’s monopolist smugness tonight.

    Kiwi Marina Erakovic has made it round 2 (first NZer to do so at a grand Slam for >10 years), and it’s on at 9p.m. NZT. Lets see whether they show it…

  • Hard News: Too Good to Be True,

    SKY certainly has an unhealthy near-monopoly on sports coverage, but I’m not sure what can be done about it. And I don’t fully understand the downside of their Prime deal Simon A.

    What really annoys me is their surreptitious use of the rugby channel for screening more and more events as a way of being even more greedy. As if $80 a month isn’t enough.

    Thankfully, the widespread drop-off in rugby following seems to have knocked that trick on the head for the time being.

  • Hard News: The Secret Code,

    Well done Alt TV, in generating nationwide media interest in such a non-story. And in the process they’ve created the impression that they are at the leading edge of political news as well as big tits.

    But what was everyone else thinking by running with it?

  • Hard News: Bean-Counting the Beat,

    Do some of these people moaning about the lack of NZ Music on the radio forget about Kiwi FM?

    Why is that?

  • Cracker: ALTered States,

    I thought it was a justifiable sting.

    But the accompanying tone of “We have just done the country a favour” wound me up a little.

    Damien,

    I must take issue with the important issue you raise:

    I don’t agree that Lisa Lewis has a bad boob job at all. And she seems to be quite proud of it too; good on her.
