Yesterday saw the cancellation of New Zealand’s second longest running television shows: TVNZ’s Fair Go.
The consumer affairs show has been airing since 1977, featuring a roster of well-known hosts including Newstalk ZB’s Kerre Woodham and Kevin Milne.
Kevin Milne was the longest serving host on the show, appearing from 1983 until 2010.
He told Kerre that what disappoints him about TVNZ is that they could’ve cut back on the number of episodes instead of cancelling it altogether.
“It remains just as powerful if you’re putting out 16 programs a year or 16.”
Kevin said that he’s concerned that TVNZ hasn’t thought about just keeping the Fair Go flag flying for All New Zealanders by simply retaining a presence, however diminished.
