A lot of them too, fair to say he wasn’t liked?

Looks that way, inviting each other to the pub to celebrate via twitter sends a pretty clear message.

Veich shouldn't be punished forever for his crimes, but he also needs to be real. A career in the public eye was never going to end well, he needs to just get a job outside of the public eye and everyone will pretty quickly forget all about him.

Yeah I think it's all his triumphant smug attitude on how he's back on radio against the odds that really got up people's noses. We're a great nation of tall poppy bashers ( probably not the best choice of word ) and him mentioning that without acknowledging the ex quite understandably made people think he was a complete self centred fluffybunny.

Its not like he was universally popular and liked before the abuse came to light either.

While I'm happy to see the end of Veitch, I am a little concerned at the plan to replace the sports show with a show focusing on "DIY tips, gardening, cooking, comment and analysis of the week's news and sport,"
I really hope that Radio Sport continue to to have a sports show on the weekend. The Radio Live show on Saturday and Sunday is good, but only runs from 2-6pm.
Fuck him and the horse he rode into town on.
If I miss an AB test which happens more frequently these days I know I have the fern to jump on for about 20 pages of decent analysis.
Where else will I find tips on finding studs in the wall, what time of year to plant my daffodils or how to make the perfect quiche?
This new show sounds awesome.

Agreed, he’s always been a shouty little Matt Dawson type . The response from his co workers suggests he’s actually more obnoxious than most people already assumed.
It’s kind of odd that such a sports mad country has for the most part pretty ordinary sports media .

I wonder whether this also means they won't be having live commentary for Mitre 10 Cup games anymore. I sometimes listened to radio commentary while watching the game on tv, if Marshall, Lose or Laban were calling the games for Sky.

@stargazer those are usually done locally, cant see why it might affect them

So he's going to set up his own online sports show? Good luck getting anyone to pay for that.
He does have 200k facebook likes. If you want to reach NZ sports fans, that is a bloody good way to do it. His page is one of the biggest NZ social media pages.
Veitch was very good at what he did. Some of his interviews were excellent and his passion for sport was unmatched. On the other hand, he did sometimes manufacture issues. Obviously the big thing hanging over his head was the violent assault which it never seemed he fully grasped the seriousness of.

Half the time he sounded like he wanted to blow his male guests. The fanboy shit was cringeworthy

The optics of having a broadcaster on-air that everybody knew pig-stomped his partner into a wheelchair, has always been awful. And that he could remain so smug and shit-grinning sure of himself just made him unwatchable. He and his opinions don't deserve my time.
