The flagship 6:00pm bulletin of 3 News was originally known as 3 National News and first went on air in November 1989 when TV3 began broadcasting. The original bulletin was presented by former BCNZ and TVNZ anchor Phillip Sherry, joined by sportscaster Greg Clark and weathercaster Belinda Todd. In that bulletin Marty McNara reported on the sentencing of murderer Charles Coulam, Mark Jennings reported on an alleged stabbing of a motorcyclist in Timaru and Stephen Christensen reported on a lack of funding for education and interviewed Education Minister Phil Goff. After a commercial break, Ian Wishart reported on law changes allowing traffic officers to enter private property and challenged drivers who were trying to evade traffic officers, Max Hayden reported on the 1989 Indian Election and Steve Barne reported on political changes in Communist Czechoslovakia. In sport, Greg Clark reported on the victory of New Zealand horse Horlocks in the 1989 Japan Cup, 1990 Commonwealth Games sprinter Peter O'Donoghue was interviewed by Steven Stuart and Clint Brown previewed upcoming summer tennis. The final report, by Janet McIntyre, described TV3's launch party and the network's first day of operation. The sports segment was produced by Tony Ciprian.
During the nine years that the bulletin was known as 3 National News it had three different hosts. Original anchor Phillip Sherry was replaced by Joanna Paul in 1990; Paul had previously been the anchor of the launch news update and weekend bulletins. When Paul opted not to renew her contract with the network, TV3 hired former TVNZ newsreader and It's in the Bag game show host, John Hawkesby.
In 1998, TV3 revamped its presentation, shortening the show's name to 3 News and adding another presenter. They initially planned for Hawkesby and ex-TVNZ journalist Carol Hirschfeld to co-host. The planned Hawkesby-Hirschfeld team never eventuated, with John Campbell taking the male anchor role when Hawkesby walked out of TV3 to host One News. TV3 later sued TVNZ for "interfering with the relationship" between Hawkesby and TV3. The two parties settled out of court at the end of 2000 for an undisclosed amount.[1]
In 2005, Hirschfeld and Campbell left their anchor positions to collaborate on current affairs show Campbell Live. They were replaced by Hilary Barry and Mike McRoberts. In the same year, TV3's parent company Mediaworks New Zealand launched Radio Live, which simulcasts so as to reach commuters still driving home from work, especially in the Auckland market.
A new 3 News studio set began use in September 2008, to coincide with a new presentation package.
Simon Shepherd and Carolyn Robinson host the weekend news at 6 pm and are also back up hosts for Hilary Barry and Mike McRoberts. Other back up anchors on behalf of Barry and McRoberts have included Sacha McNeil, Ingrid Hipkiss, Emma Jolliff and Hamish Clark. Alistair Wilkinson, who previously fronted the weekend news with Robinson, departed 3 News for Sky News New Zealand in July 2011.
Nightline is the late night edition of 3 News, broadcast live on TV3 at approximately 10:30pm anchored by Sacha McNeil.
Campbell Live is a half-hour long New Zealand current affairs programme weeknights at 7:00pm, (following 3 News) on TV3 and is hosted by New Zealand television personality, John Campbell. Backup hosts include Lachlan Forsyth, Carolyn Robinson and Rachel Smalley.
60 Minutes New Zealand is the local arm of the popular television franchise. It is broadcast on Sunday evenings at 7:30pm. The show is presented by 3 News anchor Mike McRoberts.
