Yeah the mrs (a reporter) told be about that when I went to teach her to
drive a manual at tea time.

I am just so far over bewildered...

It's a huge stab in the back to NZ.

They've really got any complainers by the balls to if you really think about
it aswell. If someone complains, then they can easily be seen as not
supportive of New Zealand artists/talent when comparing music programming
vs their hand out to radioworks.

Then on the other side of the wall, anyone that receives any degree of NZ On
Air funding will look like hypocrits if they complain also. That's a really
well thought out opportunity that one.

They've just given their commercial share holders a great big boost for
doing nothing.

I'd ask for the money back, what's kiwi fm doing on sky digital anyway! Come
on, canwest are a global coperate, yet they won't let Telecom get away with
making more money without the hand outs!
