Breaking: Stuff wins race to replace Newshub with a new 6pm bulletin for Three

Sources familiar with the deal say the print news giant has beaten out NZME to create a 6pm bulletin to replace Newshub at Three.

Less than a week after Three confirmed that its proposal to completely shutter Newshub will be going ahead, it will today confirm that Stuff has won the pitch to create a new news product to run in the vital 6pm slot for the channel. The Spinoff understands that Stuff has set up for a town hall-style all-staff meeting, called at 9.15am this morning to run at 10.30am. This mirrors a similar meeting at Three’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), scheduled for this morning, as reported by Stuff yesterday. The leadership from both organisations will then assemble at Stuff around midday to make public further details about the product – though much remains to be worked out.
