Newshub is launching a new weekday news bulletin on Three later this month.
Debuting on March 20, Newshub Live at 4pm will feature live content, studio interviews and a faster pace than traditional 6pm or late programmes.
The 30 minute programme will include full coverage of the spectrum of news and current affairs, lifestyle and entertainment news, as well as allowing for expanded coverage of major news events taking place in New Zealand, or globally, ahead of 6pm.
It will be presented by Newshub's Susie Nordqvist, who will also help produce the bulletin.
"As a network we are committed to news - with this new afternoon bulletin we're catering to evolving audience demand and increasing the amount of news we broadcast," says MediaWorks Chief News Officer Hal Crawford.
"Internationally, afternoon news is an area of growth for free-to air-broadcasters. This programme will provide in-demand content to the sizeable television audience at this time, increase audience for Newshub Live at 6pm and further cement our position as New Zealand's number one news service."
