Branded as "a great marriage" of the Three brand and Stuff's reporting, a new-look 6pm news bulletin debuted tonight. RNZ's Mediawatch team followed along with their first thoughts.

Veteran broadcaster Samantha Hayes will take on the lone task of presenting the bulletin on weekdays, while Laura Tupou is presenting Saturday.

Here's how it all went down with Mediawatch's Colin Peacock and Hayden Donnell as they unpacked the new bulletin:

  • Newshub staff wrap up final 6pm news bulletin
  • After more than 30 years, Three's evening bulletin bows out
  • Tears and celebration as Three's AM says goodbye
  • Do we still care about the 6pm TV news?
  • Sunday News to close after six decades in print
