360interactives guest spot on Breakfast Television
Are you one of the almost half a million people who tune in to watch Breakfast on TV One each day? If so, you may well have seen 360 interactives digital guru, John Buckley, being interviewed by Paul or Pippa.
John has been chosen to become one of the Breakfast programmes technology contributors. Each fortnight (Wednesdays, about 8.15am) he reviews a range of tech equipment. This can vary from the latest high end computers or mobile phones to cheap and cheerful electronic toys.
John says it is a great chance to gain exposure for the 360interactive team. “The TVNZ spot complements our work quite nicely” he says. “At 360interactive we take some quite technical information about digital media and explain it in workable terms for our clients. It’s the same with the technology tester spot on Breakfast. After all, people just want to know how something works, how it will benefit them and whether it is worth spending their hard earned cash on it.”
He agrees it’s also a bit of fun getting to play with the latest gadgets and working with professionals like Pippa Wetzell and Paul Henry.
Ben Gracewood, another tech fan, appears on the opposite weeks to John. John describes this arrangement as “a little bit like the Olsen twins on Full House; you knew there were two of them but you only ever saw one of them on TV at a time.”
