Oscar Kightley (a TV3 survivor, now a Sunday News columnist): “Those were the days when the vibe between TV3 and TVNZ was like the Bloods and the Crips without the drive-by shootings.
“There was something brave and visionary about the way things were done at TV3 – there was a kaupapa of being prepared to take risks.”
Kerre McIvor (a survivor of 3’s anarchic Nightline programme, now a Herald on Sunday columnist): “After my stint, the man in charge of programming Rod Pedersen offered me a job of weather-presenter.
“ ‘You’ll have to lose some weight, though’, he said, scrutinising me carefully through a haze of cigarette smoke. ‘Otherwise your tits are going to cover the Chathams’.”
