Close Up is a half-hour long New Zealand current affairs programme produced by Television New Zealand. It is shown at 7 p.m. weeknights (straight after One News) and is presented by Mark Sainsbury with Paul Henry as the supporting host.
The new Close Up began broadcasting on November 2, 2004 as a replacement for the Holmes show immediately after Paul Holmes announced his resignation[1] 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 its first show in 2004 until December 4, 2006 when she resigned from TVNZ, citing health problems[2].
Close Up competes with the TV3 current affairs show Campbell Live, and shares the same time slot with TV2 drama Shortland Street.
[edit] Previous version
In the 1980s, Close Up was a weekly, hour-long current affairs' programme, looking more in depth into domestic news topics of the day, much in the mould of 60 Minutes.
