The Arrival of Face Television

The Arrival of Face Television

There is a point-of-view that contrasts the improvements in television technology with a general downward quality in programming. There are accusations of putting style before substance in documentaries, news and current affairs. At the same time, smaller stations are picking up the pieces after the loss of TVNZ7.

In an attempt to present an even-handed approach to this subject, the guest In Conversation with Noel Cheer this week is the CEO of Face Television, Jim Blackman.

"In Conversation with Noel Cheer", Face Television, Monday March 11th at 7:00pm, repeated on Tuesday March 12th at 12 noon.

Face Television, the home of public broadcasting, is found on Sky Television Channel 089 and can also be received in the Auckland region on UHF Channels 41, 42 and 52. It is also live-streamed on www.ecasttv.co.nz. The website www.facetv.co.nz carries programme schedules. Some recent episodes of In Conversation can be viewed at www.youtube.com/user/NoelCheer
