Close Up

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Close Up is a half hour long New Zealand current affairs program produced by Television New Zealand. It is shown at 7pm weeknights (straight after One News) and is currently presented by Paul Henry and Mark Sainsbury on a rotational basis, with a full-time presenter expected to be named in early 2007.

Close Up began broadcasting on 2, November 2004 as a replacement for the Holmes show immediately after Paul Holmes announced his resignation from TVNZ and that he would be presenting a similar show on Prime in 2005. The show was originally branded as Close Up at 7 using the existing Holmes studio but when the show relaunched in 2005 it was just branded as Close Up with a new look studio. Close Up was hosted by Susan Wood from late 2004 until December 4 2006 when she resigned from TVNZ, citing health problems.
