John Campbell

[Stylo]

Struggling a little with why he's getting the push. Evidently due to falling ratings vs the likes of Seven sharp and other channels with 'humorous' entertainment programmes on the same time slot according to owners Media works.

Seven Sharp ? Give me a break.

[Mike.Gayner]

It surprises me that anyone watches any of garbage on evening TV at all. Frankly I don't care. I don't care about Campbell, I don't care about 7 Sharp, and I don't care about watching the news that I already knew about 6 hours ago from the internet.

He is a bleeding heart leftist muppet, good fucking riddance.

TV3 is the same as Campbell generally but without Campbell it was better than 7 Sharp happy happy look at me club. :facepalm:

my mum puts people into 3 categories, TV 1 watchers, TV 2 watchers and TV 3 watchers haha

[Trade_nancy]

Yeh..didn't like him...no loss to my viewing.

[JATZ]

To be replaced by...

Paul Henry?? :lol:

[Waihou Thumper]

Don't New Zealand Television stations realise that we NZ'ers have access to the Internet and know the news hours before it actually gets reported...
Never liked the show, he is arrogant and tries too hard. Come to think of it, all of them are.....
Never watch then, far too much good information in other mediums.

Too right, lost all respect for him when he was fawning all over David Bain when he was found "not guilty".

[R650R]

I'm long past watching these shows but never thought much of old Cauliflower ears... Mostly sensationalist tabloid style nonsense, got his arse handed to him in many an interview with Winston, even Herr Clarke whipped him, hard questions lol.... in recent years hes matured and done some ok stuff though.

Replacing with Jono and Ben just shows state of nations intelligence and the contempt they hold of our society.

[AllanB]

He used to be very good but has been slowly been morphing into a bumbling irrelevant impersonation of a later day Paul Holmes.

And is hair is dumb.

[Akzle]

i must be a rare breed. I dont give a fuck about 'news' till 6pm, when i LISTEN to it (on the wireless)


tbh. I dont give much of a fuck after i listen to it either.

'Tv' and 'personality' usually arent found in the same house.

[98tls]

:sleep:Shortland street/Campbell live:tugger:same shit different time,both about as entertaining as a fly with no wings but i can fully understand why both are applauded by many in this country.

[jim.cox]

Broadcast television has become irrelevant.

It is oversaturated with advertising and the programming is utter crap.

Campbell is probably better than that wanker Hosking or the twat Henry - but I still would not waste my life with any of them.

Ignore them and they will go away (eventually)

[admenk]

Ignore them and they will go away (eventually)


.....but how long do we have to wait? :argh:

[skippa1]

No loss good ridence

[The Reibz]

John Campbell is full of shit. Not as bad as Mike Hoskings though.
Would still rather shit in my hands and clap than watch either of them

[Grumph]

Well, looks like I'm in the minority here...I'm going to say that it will be a great pity if the programme folds.
Having a TV programme who will expose rorts whether in local government or business has been a bloody useful court of last resort in several cases.

Personally, having been in dispute with our local council for several years now, having the threat of going to the media held over them has been absolutely essential. If this programmes goes, what are you going to do ? Go on facebook and moan to your friends ? Write to the papers ? The ability to hold an organisation up to public exposure somewhere is a necessity.

Having a public forum where organisations are held to account has been a very necessary part of the ChCh earthquake sorting out process.
Believe me, if campbell hadn't got involved the shit would have just festered as without public scrutiny, nothing would have been done...

While I agree about the programme being worthwhile, I dislike both Hoskings amd Campbell. Their delivery and attitudes are hard to take.

Fair go seems to be fairly solid as a revealer of rorts and ratbags though.

[PrincessBandit]

To be possibly replaced by another home grown soap? Now THAT is "give me a fricken break".
I can't remember anything at all that has ever been a NZ soap remotely worth watching.

We do bloody great docos though!

[tri boy]

To be replaced by...

Paul Henry?? :lol:

Don't even joke about that possibility.:nono:
That lil "look at me, i'm so awesome" wank stain has failed in every media venture he has been involved with.

Licking shit stain off public toilets is what he would be most useful for.

[awa355]

Television viewing used to start at 6pm once. These days, 6pm would be a good time to finish broadcasting. :sleep::sleep::sleep:

Fair Go is made by the State Broadcaster...if they tried to take on EQC or EQR - or probably even local government, I'd bet on the Minister having something to say to them.
Media Works took delight in exposing official cockups and did it very well too.

yup thats about right...........couple of weeks ago the second BIG story of the night was.......wait for it..........Zane is leaving one direction......WTF News?........now if someone had shot the prick........that would be newsworthy.............if your a ten year old girl

[Grumph]

Be very, very thankful it didn't happen in your area....At least for the next generation or so, if it happens again, some lessons may be remembered.

And, yeah, I was surprised there were any National MP's returned from ChCh in the last elections, possibly less next time. None have covered themselves in glory.

i never saw too much of it, but it was pretty fucken crackup. plus hotties all over the place. robyn malcom still pretty spunky too.

and it didn't have "who is the doctor sleeping with this week" theme. EVERY FUKEN WEEK.
or dr ropata. or various contrived undeveloped intrasexual relationship issues.

not that i know anything about shitland street.<_<

Move along the seat and make room for another.

The only independent person through the Cunterbury insurance fiasco.

For Mediadosen'tWork to contemplate removing Campbell for some tripe "soapy" says quite a lot. Perhaps greater plans are afoot for Paul Henry?

Guess the Moon Man fella will be happy to see JC go. Remember watching an "interview" (term used extremely loosely) with that guy after the CHCH earthquakes when the MM was predicting earthquakes etc. Poor bastard never even got an opportunity to give his side of things. JC ripped strips of the poor bugger, Was a fucken joke of an interview. Never watched that JC Live program after that.....

Meh. Still wanking on about jews, eh?

No doubt you're happily bludging the tax money paid by those who worked on the movies.

[Tazz]

Meh, can't say I ever liked or watched it. If it has done its dash and is no longer relevant then so be it. A lot of news outlets and publications are going that way because they have stuck with the same format. Times change.

The saddest thing here is that 7 sharp is popular. I've only seen bits of it twice and tragic is a nice way of describing it.

[Ocean1]

Seems there's a very large gap between what people say they like to watch and what the ratings say they watch.

I mean, Campbell may be gone because apparently people didn't watch his shit. And yet most here want him around.

And most seem to have a problem with 7sharp. Yet apparently it rates higher than a hot thing.

Seems to me you just can't trust what anyone says, y'know? :shifty:

So much for the ratings system.
And no, the first couple of pages of this thread were, good riddance. i'd put it at about 70% want it gone....I'm interested to see where they think they can go to publicise an injustice after this. When it happens to you it will hit home.

Anyone here ever been part of the "ratings" audience? I've never, in the 50 odd years of TV viewing - I was about 10 when my parents got their first TV - been asked my opinion of any shows or queried of my viewing habits.

Seems a very small and select group have undue influence over what is or is not broadcast.

I've actually never watched it. Well, not after the first couple. I thought there was a definite tendency to manufacture angst, and frankly I'm sick of it.

Which isn't to say the press doesn't have a role to play in keeping shysters, official and otherwise as honest as possible. I just have an aversion to the artificial variety.

I seem to recall someone calling to ask family preferences, must have been at least 30 years ago. They haven't called back. :baby:

There's known statistical difference between volunteered opinions on preferences and the superset of all actual preferences. The more vocal are often the minority.

they can measure how many people choon in by how many gigawatts the antenna draws.
Easier now its digital and your tv tells them what when and where.
Soon: with who and how you feel about it.

Pffft, some were the same people, but had grown in caliber (that bird who played aurora for example); others were just a class above (Van/Jethro. wolf) as evidenced by their going on to much bigger roles. Defiance (wolf) is alright, but Banshee (van/jethro) is fucking top tier.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0d/Antony_starr_shortland_street.jpg

Starr began his professional acting career early in the 1990s with a small part in Shortland Street and guest roles in Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys
Starr had a recurring role on the soap opera Shortland Street for several weeks in 2001.
In 2001, Starr was cast in Mercy Peak as Todd Van der Velter, one of the no-good, white trash Van der Velter brothers. It was a guest role that he had throughout Mercy Peak’s three seasons. He also received a role as the brother of long running character Waverley Wilson in the soap opera Shortland Street. He appeared for several weeks as part of the write out of the Minnie Crozier character. Starr did not like the fast pace of the show and thought his performances suffered due to it.
NZ is a small place the directors were also nearly all worked at both at some stage.

The cute Asian was on Young performers or what ever it was called.

A family member who has a mild mental illness was for some time... that explains the program choices these days... Obviously they have no vetting procedures, its just whoever is interested when they advertise for respondants.
Was about ten years ago and quite a hefty paper survey form would arrive in mail for him often. I guess its probably online these days, but really how many normal people would have the time or be bothered to do it...
A lot of viewing data is remotely collected these days via sky etc, they 'know' what people are watching.

BTW had a hot date last night, when she said she loved watching Campbell live I knew it was all over... screw you JC LOL....

Quite correct. That list is made up from some dubious gathering of data, presumably from Bob and Janet at the retirement village where the audience isn't physically able to get up and change the channel even if they wanted to.

As you quite rightly say, who else is left to turn to? Certainly not 7 Blunt with its vacuous drivel.

Once ratings are done by asking large groups of people to keep a media diary - write down, every 15 minutes, what TV programme, radio station etc they are listening to, watching or reading. It's done over a two or three week period ...

Now volunteers agree to have a monitoring device attached to their TV so Neilson can see what they are watching ... (I haven't worked in the media for a while so I'm not sure in Nielson in God-zone us media diaries or monitoring boxes)

This gives the ratings company a reasonably accurate picture - so long as the people in the survey are honest, and that the groups are reasonably representative ...

Same for all soap operas like eastenders, shortarse st, and any programme where anyone gets "voted off" at the end.
Come to think of it, I might need to re-jig one of the prisons so that we can have some waterboarding of the creators and producers of this kind of show.:oi-grr:

Heck I'll vote for you on that ballot.

And with my offshore experience in your last mentioned item, give me a holler if you need a hand.

Presuming that said volunteers actually watch/listen to the advertisements ?

We have a mute button policy at home in that whenever a commercial break comes on it's a race to the mute button. Mute.

Been doing it for years, pretty much boycott the f..ing annoying ones hence we haven't shopped at eg Harvey Norman for over 10 years.

Wankers they are .. I'm not deaf and I'm not stupid so, why do you shout at me like I'm both ?

Yeah .. I use the mute button all the time .. I'm with you ...

But Nielson's monitoring box can tell the company exactly when the volunteers use the mute button ..

I already have a location...
A mate used to say that NZ already had a "final solution". A place so disgusting, dreary and dead that all of our political prisoners should be sent there as it made Siberia look like Las Vegas.

Porirua.

Porirua? I thought for a second you meant Parliament.

NZ men are quite happy with a small electrical product of some description. A game show will easily appease them with an opportunity to win something that plugs in.

Lol, I'd love to see the research data and info on that.

[SPman]

Seems to me you just can't trust what anyone says, y'know? :shifty:

All too true

Yes yes yes, but soap time is male play time FFS. You don't understand, so I shan't make you Emperor :oi-grr:

[yokel]

watching Campbell live now, fuck it's dumb.
all theses people coming out of Mc Donalds after buying their shit house food that disapprove of zero hours contracts.

[AllanB]

Cutting edge stuff aye?

[husaberg]

Unrelated but what movie is it when john Campbell plays himself, I seen it a while back somewhere it was actually entertaining.

[Berries]

Was it Meet the Feebles?

[husaberg]

Was it Meet the Feebles?

I wasn't keen on googling John Campbell spoof, I was rather afraid of what might come up.

[awayatc]

Campbell......

soup, Warhol, sixties, wasn't it?

please switch of my life support if I start watching this sort of puke on TV...

[BMWST?]

hypocrites

[Stylo]

So, he's quit. Good on him and a big finger to Media-works.

That's the end of being informed in an old school 'current affairs' fashion and, on a professional level. Looks like the IQ of the viewing population has plummeted if Seven sharp is the best thing to tune into. Mike Hosking ?!

[Stylo]

Interesting watching Hilary breaking down on TV3 news too, very sad ...

[Robbo]

Was it "Meet the Fuckers"

[husaberg]

Sounds like the wrong kind of spoof movie
opens private tab anyway..........:eek5:
I think this was the one it was actually Outrageous Fortune

Come on - he lost it when he went agro at Ken Moon. The show and his interviewing has been on the decline for some years. He used to be a very good interviewing but now reminds me of at fumbling stuttering old Paul Homes (who, ironically, used to be a very good interviewer but became, ah, well, a stuttering bumbling Paul Homes ......)

May he refind himself and come back as his early glory.

[puddytat]

T.V 1 lost me ages ago......and T.V 3 had me watching the news (which like 1 is womans weekly shit mostly) & Campbell.
Now they lose me too, because Campbell is a good as it got in N.Z for current affairs.
Thank god for National Radio.
Like many people in the world now seeing MSM for the farce it is, I get my news from anywhere I can that isn't an MSM accomplice.....

Bring on the Rapture.

[pzkpfw]

...
Bring on the Rapture.

Good idea. Switch to watching pron.

[PrincessBandit]

Nothing beats the feeling of control in being able to flip the bird if you want as you walk out the door rather than being shoved or kicked out with a boot up ya jacksie.

[Banditbandit]

And TV3 are replacing Campbell Live with a Mutt and Jeff Show ... Oh please ...

[Jin]

Wonder if they will replace him with paul henry. Watching that prick makes me want to drown puppies.

[Voltaire]

Netfliks, the BBC, You Tube , coupled up via the smartphone with Google Chromecast .....who needs TV any more.....other than missing out on what toothpaste or bog paper to use.:banana:

It'd be worth someone making that announcement, just to watch the ensuing leftwing splutter-fest.

Did you not realise that if you push those number buttons on the TV remote, you can watch other channels? Sensible people do, which is why so few people bother with Campbell's Labour and Green propaganda.
