History
The Paul Henry Show premiered on 27 January 2014 from 10:35 p.m. to 11:15 p.m. with Paul Henry as the show's host, and Janika ter Ellen as the news anchor, with Fiona McMillan as the show's executive producer. Labour Party leader David Cunliffe and Prime Minister John Key were both interviewed on the episode. Henry kicked off the interview with Cunliffe by stating "I'd never vote for you", and teased Cunliffe on his misspelling of Lorde on Twitter, as Cunliffe spelt it as "Lord" when he tweeted congratulating her on her Grammy Awards.[2] Key only managed to name three native New Zealand birds in the '9 in 10' challenge, where participants have to answer a question with 9 answers in 10 seconds. Henry asked Key to name native New Zealand birds, with Key naming tui, kiwi, kakapo, and "some kind of pigeon".[3] The episode also followed Lorde's appearance at the 2014 Grammy Awards and the subsequent after parties, among other things. Although the first episode was aired at 10:35 p.m., the standard time slot for the show is 10:30 p.m. with a running time of 30 minutes.
At the end of 2014 an announcement was made that Paul Henry will move to presenting a morning news show and as a result this marked the end for The Paul Henry Show. The final show aired on the 19th December 2014. The replacement evening show is called Newsworthy presented by Samantha Hayes and David Farrier.[4]
The new breakfast show presented by Paul Henry first aired 7 April 2015. The new breakfast show is broadcast live from a purpose-built hybrid radio/television studio at MediaWorks’ Flower Street offices. It replaced both Firstline on TV3 and the breakfast show on RadioLIVE. It's New Zealand's first cross-platformed show.[5]
The morning show, entitled Paul Henry, is hosted by Paul Henry, Ingrid Hipkiss, Verity Johnson and Jim Kayes. The show covers local and international news, including sport, weather and much more. The show airs across TV3, RadioLIVE, mobile devices and the internet and is broadcast weekdays 6am-9am. On the first episode, Paul was joined by Prime Minister John Key, Kiwi musician Brooke Fraser and Rocket Lab founder Glenn Martin.
Both versions of the show broadcast from TV3's Flower Street headquarters from studio 3 which was refitted between the late night news and the morning timeslot, the morning edition studio was designed by Jago design who also designed the main Newshub studio in 2016.
