Out there! Last year Prime Minister John Key and Mark Weldon had a phone conversation in regards to John Campbell. Mr Key was overheard saying “I want that left wing bastard gone”. The prime minister had insidiously conspired with Mark Weldon to end John Campbell’s broadcasting career and have Campbell live taken off the air. Campbell Live is not biased against the National government it investigates poor government, remember when former Prime minister Helen Clark stormed off after calling John Campbell a “sanctimonious little creep“ Mark Weldon’s crony appointment as the CEO of media works was made by John Key. The National government have offered a great deal of privilege upon Mr Weldon. Chair the Summit on Employment and Offered the Queens service order Lead The Christchurch Earthquake Appeal. the Capital Markets Development Taskforce in 2009/10 Tax Working Group in 2009 Climate Change Leadership Forum Board of High Performance Sport New Zealand NZ Olympic Committee After the Campbell live exposed the exploitative Zero Hours contracts a letter was sent from Burger King to Campbell live and Mark Weldon was mysteriously CC’d into the email. The email was from someone at Burger King who obviously has a relationship with Mark Weldon. Burger King has used its influence to help terminate the Campbell Live show. Any media outlet that tells you this is not politically motivated and based on ratings is lying to you. The decision was made by the National party caucus with strong influence from former radio works CEO MP Steven Joyce. This is another attempt by the National government to control the media and any criticism of its policies. http://mananews.co.nz/wp/?p=4397

Obi Wan Kanobi said. "I have never seen such a wretched hive of scum and villainy." Little did Obi Wan realize he was describing the National party.

By 2014 the freeze had effectively cut Radio NZ's budget by 9%
May 2012. Kevin Kenrick, ex CEO of 'House of Travel', is appointed head of TVNZ.
June 2012. TVNZ 7 is axed. All archive material deleted from the TVNZ website the following day.
May 2013. A year after John Key is humiliated on BBC 'Hardtalk', TV One replaces 'BBC Overnight' with infomercials.
August 2014. Mark Weldon – ex head of NZ Stock Exchange, and a friend of John Key – is appointed head of Mediaworks, who own TV3 (Mediaworks had earlier received a $43m subsidised bailout loan from the current National government).
October 2014. National minister Georgina Te Heu Heu appoints her friend Paora Maxwell head of Maori TV. Maxwell immediately announces that Maori TV will focus on language and culture, not politics and social issues. Carol Hirschfield and Julian Wilcox – Maori TV's hugely respected heads of news and programming – both lose their jobs.
April 2015. A week after Campbell Live is a part of the successful campaign against 'Zero Hour contracts', Mark Weldon and Mediaworks board member Julie Christie announce a 'review' of Campbell Live. Despite the fact that Campbell Live is profitable show. Mediaworks cherry-pick ratings from the final weeks of the cricket world cup to show a 'slide in ratings'.
If Campbell Live is cancelled, the total number of TV shows left in New Zealand that will ever ask a tough question of an MP in prime time, will be none.

Bomber is an idiot, pretty sure he used to be a KiwiFM DJ as well, so a bitter idiot perhaps  Graeme Hill is one of my favourite talk show hosts and he doesn't come across as political to me, he normally talks about high brow science, religion, philosophy, history and language topics, and Andrew Fagan does talk a bit about politics and I think a lot of his opinions match mine, so of course I think he's an intelligent quality host

Weekend Herald investigation can reveal that earlier this year MediaWorks, in an unusual move, secretly trimmed the length of the show's cornerstone sponsorship.
During a February meeting with Mazda, the show's principal sponsor since 2008, instead of a typical one-year extension MediaWorks opted to extend the deal for only three months.
The new deal is set to expire at the end of May, signalling perhaps a curtain call for a show that only recently celebrated its tenth year on air.
Bill Ralston, a former TVNZ head of current affairs, said the short-term deal was highly unusual and only made sense if a decision about the future of the show had already been made.
"A three-month deal makes no sense, unless they were - at the point at which they negotiated that three-month deal - considering getting rid of Campbell Live."
A MediaWorks spokeswoman rejected suggestions the show was being railroaded into an early end. "It would be completely incorrect to suggest the outcome of this review is predetermined."
Mr Ralston said longer-term sponsorships made more financial sense for broadcasters.
"If you're a cash-strapped TV channel like they are, you'd want that cash booked in for at least a year."
