Newshub's former head of news believes it's a waiting game as to whether the salvaged TV bulletin will work.  

Stuff has signed on to produce and provide a daily bulletin on TV3 from July 6, following Newshub's closure.  

Mark Jennings told Mike Hosking it's better than nothing. 

But, he says, it's going to be up to the viewers what they make of this, adding they vote with their remotes, and we will know the verdict from July 6th. 

Jennings says although Stuff journalists are used to collecting video, uploading it to a website is different to packaging it for TV.
