Judy Bailey

An interesting comment by Paul Norris on Judy Bailey’s contract not being renewed. He said:

“I think it did alienate part of her viewing audience and has been partly responsible for a downturn in TVNZ news ratings”

Normally I would think it is rubbish that people would swap channels just to protest the pay package of a presenter. But I know of several people who have done so, including family members of mine. It would be interesting to see if anyone could quantify how much of an effect this may have had.
