A New Future For The 6pm News

Stuff Group and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) have announced an agreement for Stuff to provide a daily news bulletin to WBD. The new Stuff-made 6pm news will begin on Saturday 6 July, the day after the final Newshub bulletin airs on Friday 5 July.

Stuff will exclusively licence and deliver the 6pm bulletin to WBD's free-to-air broadcast platform Three as well as ThreeNow.

Stuff will create the new bulletin through a transition period with WBD, using the strength of Stuff's large national newsroom and New Zealand's largest digital news website stuff.co.nz, complemented by specialist skills and talent they will bring in.

As part of the agreement, ownership of newshub.co.nz and its social assets will transfer to Stuff Group.
