Questions for TV3 Exec

Questions for TV3 Exec

Got a mate just text me "TV3 exec are here,what stuff should i ask about football?"

Why, when Andrew Gourdie goes away are you incapable of covering the game of football ?

What shade did Jim Kayes turn when he got sent to cover the AW's retrun from Bahrain ?

haha i told him to ask the first one already,got no response.

Who do they think Ricki should play in the midfield against Bahrain?  Brown or McGlinchy.  And why?Smithy2009-10-22 14:35:28

Are we the Phoenix's legion of uber-tolerant, misty-eyed fans ?

He said to keep em coming,hes lecturing at the moment with questions at the end.

Fixed.

Are TV3 embarrassed they had zero coverage of the All Whites game in the built-up to the away qualifier in Bahrain?

Are TV3 embarrassed that they have given little if any coverage to the home qualifier being the biggest sporting event in NZ this year? With potentially the biggest sporting crowd in attendance this year?

Are TV3 embarrassed that they give more coverage of how many times Tiger Woods hits a golf ball, then they ever do for football in NZ? Including coverage of NZFC, OFC, A-League and All Whites games?

Will they get Hamish McKay to wear the All White strip while presenting the sports news in the days building up to the home qualifier on November 14?

...and make Jim Kayes do the live feed from here with Gourdie sniggering in the background.

Mark Jennings, head director of TV3 lectured us, and after I stayed and chatted to him just briefly about the dire state of football reporting.

I said for the most played sport in the country, and ultimately NZ's chance to the biggest sporting event in the world why has the coverage from you guys been appalling. I said with the all whites and football in general, if you just gave me coverage in your 6pm news you'd get loads more viewers etc.

He replied yeah we copped it big time for the all whites coverage we've been discussing it all this week on how to rectify it.
He then said, yep thats true we dont show bugger all football as it is anyway and we could try improve that.

He had to go after that, but I managed to slip in that Toni Marsh could wear an all whites shirt one night while presenting the weather...?

He said thats not a bad idea at all :P

The temperature would definately rise across the country!!!

Get Carly Flynn in on the action too...

She's quality...

Nice work Cheeps

Some may hope for a sudden cold snap

Toni Marsh is dollar-a-day material, no thanks.

Sacha McNeill FTW

Which one's Sacha?  Jag2009-10-22 16:47:14

Oh i forgot Samantha Hayes - she's good too...

Quality hiring at TV3

So it comes down to this:  Why we watch TV3: 1. Football, 2. Nice-on-the-eye presenters

I would suggest we currently watch TV3 for the quality presenters first.. not really for the football coverage at all

Wonder if it'll do anything.
But we'll see.

great way to make use of a guest appearance - well done.

I must say I am definitely a fan :)
