MediaWorks' new multi-platform news service will launch on February 1.
Newshub, an integrated digital, TV and radio news service, will provide breaking news and in-depth analysis across MediaWorks' TV and radio channels, as well as online through a mobile app and website, the company says.
Newshub Live at 6pm will be presented by Mike McRoberts and Hilary Barry, while Jeff McTainsh will present Newshub Midday.
"Journalism is all about communities, and with our integration our 'community' has just got a lot wider," McRoberts says.
Newsworthy will be rebranded as Newshub Late, and be hosted by Samantha Hayes. The weekend news bulletin will be hosted by Melissa Davies and Tom McRae, both of whom are returning from overseas posts.
The service will also provide news content across other programmes, such as Paul Henry and will place a strong emphasis on digital.
"Newshub combines the power of our radio, TV and digital newsrooms and is focused on providing tailored content to all platforms," says MediaWorks Group Head of News, Mark Jennings.
"Specialist teams will work on breaking stories in the areas of most interest to New Zealanders. We won't just be telling you what is happening, but why it is happening."
