The Bat-Morning Report

Monty Python, the iconic British comedy group, has a unique nickname for Radio New Zealand (RNZ) National's morning flagship news and current affairs program, Morning Report. They affectionately refer to it as Bat-Morning Report, drawing inspiration from Nelson Riddle's instrumental soundtracks for the 1960s Batman TV series.

Morning Report is a staple in New Zealand's media landscape, providing listeners with up-to-date news, interviews, and analysis on a wide range of topics. The program airs every weekday morning, helping Kiwis start their day informed and engaged with the world around them.

The nickname Bat-Morning Report is a playful nod to the program's serious and authoritative tone, juxtaposed with the whimsical and adventurous spirit of the 1960s Batman TV series. Nelson Riddle's music, with its catchy melodies and dynamic rhythms, adds a touch of excitement and drama to Morning Report, making it a must-listen for many New Zealanders.

Monty Python's association with Morning Report goes beyond just the nickname. The comedy group has a long history of poking fun at traditional media and news outlets, using satire and absurdity to highlight the absurdities of the world around them. By calling the program Bat-Morning Report, Monty Python adds a touch of irreverence and humor to the serious business of news reporting.

But despite the playful nickname, Morning Report remains a vital source of information for New Zealanders. The program covers a wide range of topics, from politics and economics to culture and entertainment, providing listeners with a comprehensive overview of the day's events. With in-depth interviews, expert analysis, and on-the-ground reporting, Morning Report keeps Kiwis informed and engaged with the world around them.

In a world where news can often be overwhelming and confusing, Morning Report stands out as a beacon of clarity and reliability. The program's team of experienced journalists and presenters work tirelessly to bring listeners the most accurate and up-to-date information, helping them make sense of the complex issues facing New Zealand and the world.

And while Monty Python may playfully refer to Morning Report as Bat-Morning Report, the program's impact and importance cannot be understated. With its commitment to quality journalism and public service, Morning Report plays a crucial role in keeping New Zealanders informed and engaged with the world around them.

So the next time you tune in to Morning Report, remember the playful nickname bestowed upon it by Monty Python. Bat-Morning Report may be a lighthearted moniker, but the program's dedication to quality journalism and public service is no joke. Stay informed, stay engaged, and enjoy the unique blend of seriousness and whimsy that makes Morning Report a must-listen for Kiwis everywhere.

7440Khz 1259 7 APR 2024 - RNZ PACIFIC (NEW ZEALAND) in ENGLISH from RANGITAIKI. SINPO = 55343. English, s/on w/bellbird int. until pips and news @1300z anchored by Peter McIlwaine. The government is bringing in immediate changes to the Accredited Employer Worker Visa, which it says will help protect migrants from exploitation and address unsustainable net migration. In 2023, a near-record 173,000 non-New Zealand citizens migrated to the country. The changes to the work visa scheme include introducing an English language requirement for migrants applying for low-skilled jobs. A number of construction roles will also no longer be added to the green-light list due to less demand, and the franchisee accreditation category will be disestablished. The Christ Church Cathedral Reinstatement Trust says it deliberately began reducing staff numbers and slowing work on site last year to help keep costs down. The trust on Saturday announced its budget estimate had ballooned from $104 million to $248m, following a four-month project review. It needed to secure $30m by August, when a meeting would be held on whether to mothball the project, trust chair Mark Stewart said. A street and a park associated with abuse of children and young people are likely to have a name change. Marylands Place and Marylands Reserve are both on one of two former sites of the notorious Marylands School, in the Christchurch suburb of Middleton. One in five of the boys who attended the residential school, run by the St John of God brothers, reported being abused there, found an interim report released in 2023 for the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care. It described the institution as 'hell on earth'. Next week, a Christchurch City Council community board is to consider a name for the street and park. ABBA and their fans celebrated the 50th anniversary of their Eurovision success in style at the weekend - with Bjorn Ulvaeus making a guest appearance in London's West End and saying he feels "humbled" by their continued popularity. Saturday was 50 years to the day since ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 with their mega-hit ‘Waterloo’.

Almost three years ago, a chaplain from New Zealand, Owen John Pomana, arrived in Ukraine to volunteer. He felt compelled to help after seeing videos of what Ukrainian civillians experienced when the full-scale invasion began. He's still in the country helping to evacuate civilians from front line areas. Here he is helping a small team evacuate people in the small town of Novohrodivka in eastern Ukraine.

Finally, some good fucking news

[sixth-light]

New Zealand always shuts down over the Christmas-New Year period in a way that Northern Hemisphere countries simply don't because it's also our long summer break, but I think it's a sign of how...everything...2022 has been that it's December 20th and pretty much everything is already shutting down - and was as of the 19th. This will mean nothing if you don't live here but we've already hit a 7am start for Morning Report! Everybody is simply Done.

Interesting distinction between my parents when they talk about Rhys Darby:

My mum calls him “the guy from flight of the conchords” while my dad calls him “the guy from our flag means death”. Both of them have seen both of those shows. Neither of them remember his actual name.

All 379 passengers and crew of a Japan Airlines plane miraculously escaped from a fire following a collision with a Coast Guard aircraft at Tokyo's Haneda airport on Tuesday, but five of the six crew of the coast guard plane were killed. The Coast Guard said the collision involved one of its planes that was headed to Niigata airport on Japan's west coast to deliver aid to those caught up in a powerful earthquake that struck on New Year's Day, killing at least 48 people. The quake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.6 struck on Monday afternoon, prompting residents in some coastal areas to flee to higher ground as tsunami waves hit Japan's west coast, sweeping some cars and houses into the sea.
