U Live

U Live was the flagship show of TVNZ U, airing live from 4pm - 7pm daily. The show featured music, interviews, and other general interest content. Viewers were invited to participate via Facebook to vote in psychic readings, take part in discussions, and view the show via a live commercial- and graphic-free stream, where comments and psychic readings would then be played live. U Live was hosted by Connor Nestor, Matthew Gibb, Kirsteen Mackenzie, Eli Matthewson and Monika Barton. U Live drew many parallels to TVNZ's rival network Mediaworks' youth-oriented show FOUR Live, which aired on FOUR.

U Live Facebook App

TVNZ teamed up with Facebook to create an application that would allow for user-generated content to be provided and presented on the show, in the form of polls, discussions and music video requests.

gollark: Maybe someone actually *has* been insane enough to make GCC able to compile to LLVM, who knows.
gollark: Oh, right. That would have been easier than doing it by hand.
gollark: Did you just randomly decide to calculate that?
gollark: Well, you can, or also "it would have about the same mass as the atmosphere".
gollark: Wikipedia says that spider silk has a diameter of "2.5–4 μm", which I approximated to 3μm for convenience, so a strand has a 1.5μm radius. That means that its cross-sectional area (if we assume this long thing of spider silk is a cylinder) is (1.5e-6)², or ~7e-12. Wikipedia also says its density is about 1.3g/cm³, which is 1300kg/m³, and that the observable universe has a diameter of 93 billion light-years (8.8e26 meters). So multiply the length of the strand (the observable universe's diameter) by the density of spider silk by the cross-sectional area of the strand and you get 8e18 kg, while the atmosphere's mass is about 5e18 kg, so close enough really.
