3 News was the television, internet and radio news service of New Zealand's first private commercial television channel TV3. The flagship news bulletin was the nightly 6pm news; 3 News also had morning, midday and evening news bulletins, as well as several current affairs shows.
As the news brand of MediaWorks, 3 News produced bulletins live from Auckland on TV3, and an hour later on TV3 Plus 1, it produces video, audio and article news for 3news.co.nz, and reports news for Radio Live news bulletins.
On 1 February 2016, the 3 News and Radio Live News brands were replaced with Newshub, a new brand aimed at encompassing all of MediaWorks' news outlets.[1]

3 News
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. For the first year of broadcast 3 National News was a thirty-minute bulletin screening at 6:30pm, the same time slot as Holmes on TV1. The original bulletin was presented by former BCNZ and TVNZ anchor Philip Sherry, joined by sportscaster Greg Clark and weathercaster Belinda Todd.
Among the reports in the first day's bulletin were 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 Horlicks 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.
In 1991 TV3 extended 3 National News to a 1-hour bulletin starting at 6pm, this occurred during the Gulf War but TV3 continued to screen a 1-hour bulletin following the war. TV3 used their 1-hour news bulletin of 3 National News as a selling point over One Network News which was still a 30-minute bulletin followed by the Holmes show, One Network News did not become a 1-hour bulletin until 1995. During the nine years that the bulletin was known as 3 National News it had three different hosts. Original anchor Philip 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.[2]
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. The same year, 3 News won the Best News Award at the Qantas Television Awards. In 2005, TV3's parent company Mediaworks New Zealand launched Radio Live.
A new 3 News studio set began use in September 2008, to coincide with a new presentation package.

Other back up anchors on behalf of Barry, McRoberts, Robinson & Shepherd have included Sacha McNeil, Ingrid Hipkiss, Samantha Hayes, Emma Jolliff, Michael Morrah, Tom McRae, Hamish Clark. Alistair Wilkinson, who previously presented the weekend news with Robinson, departed 3 News for Sky News New Zealand in July 2011.
In June 2011, 3 News revamped its presentation package, to have a "floating tiles" look, which is still in use today.
In November 2012, 3 News won the Best News award at the 2012 New Zealand Television Awards.
On the 27 January 2014, 3 News refreshed its split screen graphics and finance graphics, at this same time 3 News also tidied up the studio, they temporarily broadcast from a green/blue screen set.
In early April 2015, it was announced that 3 News' Sunday bulletin would be reduced to half an hour and will be followed by a shortened version of the network's midweek current affairs programme 3rd Degree which was renamed "3D".[3] The first of these shortened Sunday bulletins was broadcast on 24 May 2015.
