[mythtvnz] TVNZ stopping overnight BBC from 31-Mar-2013

[Nick Rout]

Colin Peacock on Radio NZ Mediawatch just had a programme where he
featured changes to BBC World News.
http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/mediawatch - 24 March
programme. Worth a listen.

Great shame, I have forwarded your email to Colin too given that his
show just played 2 days ago!
