Changes to network affiliation

This is a list of programs which made their premiere on a New Zealand television network that had previously premiered on another New Zealand television network. The networks involved in the switch of allegiances are predominantly both free-to-air networks or both subscription television networks. Programs that have their free-to-air/subscription television premiere, after previously premiering on the opposite platform (free-to air to subscription/subscription to free-to air) are not included. In some cases, programs may still air on the original television network. This occurs predominantly with programs shared between subscription television networks.

Ending this year

gollark: Giving one company access to people's accurate location history, conversations, emails and whatnot could probably lead to problems.
gollark: Presumably, somewhat creepy overtargeted advertising, spread it further (which I don't really like in itself), probably (if I was weird and still used Google stuff on my phone) listen into my conversations.
gollark: Thing is, what I'm attempting to say is: what sort of bad things do you think people or companies could do with leaked or bought or whatever data?
gollark: Google does, if not much else, have, as far as I know, a good track record for not letting other people get their precious datas.
gollark: I was asking Solar, but yes, that's actually sensible I guess.
