TV channel launch
TVNZ 7 went on the air around 10 am on March 25, 2008 with a looped preview block. After starting the countdown timer, which lasted for an hour, the channel was officially launched at noon on March 30, 2008 with the release of political debates in Parliament and the inclusion of speeches by most parliamentary minority leaders [3] [4] .
At TVNZ 7, at the beginning of each hour, from 6 am to 11 pm, TVNZ News Now news unit was broadcast with a 10-minute news report between 8 and 9 am, when 6 news bulletins were broadcast. In addition, at 8 o'clock in the evening there was an hourly news release, TVNZ News At 8 . On weekdays, the host of this news block was Greg Boyd ( Eng. Greg Boyed ), the presenter of ONE News Tonight [5] , and on weekends, Miriam Kamo ( Eng. Miriama Kamo ).
It was initially reported that this will be a news channel similar to Sky News and CNN Headline News. However, Eric Kearly ( Eng. Eric Kearley ), head of TVNZ's Digital Launch Group, said that 70% of the airtime will be given to “actual diversity” - various local and foreign documentaries and programs that discuss current events and sports. while the remaining 30% of airtime is taken up by news [6] . The full television program was published on February 28, 2008.
Broadcast
TVNZ News Now
TVNZ 7 worked as a news channel. TVNZ News Now news releases ( TVNZ news now ), were broadcast 4-7 minutes a day, every hour, from 6:00 to 23:05. At 20:00 TVNZ News at 8 was broadcast ( Rus. TVNZ News at 8 pm ) [7] .
Each separate issue of news was prepared by one journalist who found news, wrote the script, produced the issue and hosted the program. Journalists such as Glen Larmer ( Eng. Glen Larmer ) [8] , Jenny-May Coffin [9] , Brooke Dobson ( Eng. Brooke Dobson ) [10] , Ben Christie ( Eng. Ben Christie ) participated in the preparation of TVNZ News Now [11] , Susanna Guttenbeil ( Eng. Susana Guttenbeil ) [12] , Lisa Glass ( Eng. Lisa Glass ) [13] , Sandra Kailai ( Eng. Sandra Kailahi ) [14] , Christopher Lynch ( Eng. Christopher Lynch ) [15 ] , Sonya Voigt ( born Sonia Voigt ) [16] , Katie Chapman ( English Katie Chapman ) [17] .
In connection with such restrictions in personnel policy, news releases were prepared using various news sources, such as One News and other TVNZ- affiliated companies, as well as Newstalk ZB, ABC America , ABC Australia and BBC .
TVNZ News at 8
TVNZ News at 8 ( Rus. TVNZ News at 8 pm ) [18] [19] was a non-profit watch program with an overview of news and current events, based on the issue of One News at 6 of the same day. The program was broadcast seven days a week at 8:00 pm on TVNZ 7. Since the program was broadcast without advertising, and sports events and weather forecasts were shorter than on One News , it was possible to include extended interviews based on the short One reports. News , and also to pay more attention to events in the world, covered on ABC America , ABC Australia , BBC and CNN .
On weekdays, the program was led by Greg Boyd, Tonight presenter on One News , and on weekends, by One News at 6 Weekends , Miriam Kamo. Initially, the program came out with two presenters: with Geraldine Knox ( Eng. Geraldine Knox ) on weekdays and with Sonia Voigt ( Eng. Sonia Voigt ) on weekends.
Original TV programs
On TVNZ 7, there were two weekly major programs about current events:
- Media 7 [20] - Media Review with Russell Brown [21] [22] .
- Back Benches is a weekly live show with Wallace Chapman, coming out on Wednesdays from the Backbencher pub, located opposite the parliament building in Wellington .
On September 23, 2008 at 9:00 pm, TV debates were held on TVNZ 7 in the Avalon studio about Internet problems. The host of these televised debates, also sponsored by the organization InternetNZ, was Damian Christie [23] . The arbitrators were representatives of The New Zealand Herald - Fran O'Sullivan ( Eng. Fran O'Sullivan ) and Russell Brown. The debate was attended by the Minister of Communications and Information Technology, David Canliff, a representative of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies, Maurice Williamson, the leader of the ACT New Zealand party, Rodney Hyde, and the representative of the Green Party, Metiriya Turey.

Controversy
In October 2009, TVNZ 7 launched a new show promotion, Spotlight on the Economy (from English - “Searchlight of the Economy”). Minister of Finance Bill English took part in the dubbing of the commercial. Critics noted that the video, voiced by the Minister, was made in the style of political advertising and partly explained by its appearance the decline in the weekly mailing list of Bill English, “Plain English”. Later, according to official documents, it turned out that Bill English rewrote most of the script of the show, replacing some of the expressions written by the TVNZ screenwriters with rhetoric, which could be considered more favorable towards the policies of the National Party [27] . The company TVNZ retorted this statement by saying that since the promotion was not launched in the election year, and, moreover, advertised not a policy, but a show, the TV channel was not obliged to present a balanced position from a political point of view, and the majority of viewers were indifferent whether representatives of different political parties have the same amount of airtime [28] . In November 2009, the company TVNZ recognized that attracting Bill English to participate in the promotion was a “mistake” [29] .
Another scandal occurred when the Minister of Broadcasting, Jonathan Coleman ( Eng. Jonathan Coleman ), said that TVNZ 7 will no longer be funded. This provoked a protest from the public, which organized the SaveTVNZ7 movement ( Rus. Save TVNZ 7 ) [30] . Supporters of the channel were against the decision to close the channel, arguing that TVNZ 7 remained at that time the only non-commercial public television channel in New Zealand [31] [32] . In April 2011, supporters of TVNZ 7 indicated that the government willingly supported TVNZ's competitor MediaWorks in the form of deferred payments to the budget in the amount of NZ $ 43 million [33] [34] . They also referred to the hypocrisy of the authorities over the closure of TVNZ 7, while local shows of foreign formats, such as The GC and New Zealand's Got Talent [35] , received taxable funding from NZ on Air. Media commentator Brian Edwards said that without TVNZ 7, New Zealand would practically join Mexico in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development as another country without public television [36] .
The official report, published in November 2012, showed that 91% of respondents who were aware of the existence of the TVNZ 7 channel considered it important to have a public news and information channel. The survey, conducted before the decision to close TVNZ 7, was not made public because it contained a trade secret , despite the fact that the channel was non-commercial [37] .
Restart channel and close it
The channel was restarted on March 1, 2011, having received some programs from TVNZ 6, another digital channel from the Freeview package, which the television company decided to replace with interactive TV channel .
On April 6, 2011, it was announced that TVNZ 7 would stop broadcasting in June 2012; this was confirmed by the Minister of Television and Radio Broadcasting, Jonathan Coleman, who, on behalf of the government, stated that the funding of the TV channel would be discontinued due to low ratings [38] . This statement was made despite the fact that according to surveys, half of the households with access to the Freeview package mainly watched TVNZ 7, that is, about 700,000 people, rather than the 207,000 reported by Coleman [37] . In March 2012, Television New Zealand reaffirmed the decision to close the TV channel and announced that no decision would be made to delay the disconnection of the channel at the last minute [39] .
On June 28, 2012, about 200 people marched through Wellington to protest the closure of the TV channel [40] .
TVNZ 7 stopped broadcasting on June 30, 2012, shortly before midnight. The channel closed with a short animation of Goodnight Kiwi ( good night, kiwi ) with the text “Goodbye from TVNZ 7” ( Russian. Goodbye from TVNZ 7 ) [41] superimposed on it. The next day, at 7 am, instead of TVNZ 7, TV One Plus 1 was launched.
On the closing day of TVNZ 7, a funeral procession “buried” the television channel took place in downtown Auckland. One of its most famous participants was the founder of Megaupload , Kim Dotk , who once welcomed Media7 for defending freedom on the Internet [42] .
On July 1, 2012, TVNZ 7 was replaced by TV One Plus 1 , the new TV One channel, similar to TV3 Plus 1 and broadcasting TV One with a delay of one hour.
