Story dumped

The Herald reports:

Staff working on TV3’s Story have been told the programme will be dropped by the network at the end of the year.

The show, which replaced Campbell Live last year, is hosted by Duncan Garner and Heather du Plessis-Allan and has met with mediocre ratings success.

It’s understood TV3 will launch a new entertainment-focussed show, similar to Australia’s The Project, in its place – with comedian Guy Williams tipped to be involved.

Oh dear. Less news and more entertainment. Inevitable I guess.

And the replacement will probably be three left wing comedians.
