About TVNZ 2 plus 1
TVNZ 2 plus 1 is owned and operated by Television New Zealand (TVNZ), the state-owned national broadcaster. Designed as a catch-up service, the channel duplicates the primary TVNZ 2 network signal on a one-hour delay.

The channel features the same mix of flagship content as TVNZ 2, including international dramas, hit comedies, reality series, blockbuster movies, animated programming, and local youth-oriented shows.

Whether planning for today's daytime shows or checking what is airing tonight, the listings outline every consecutive program block from early morning through late-night broadcasts.
When using this schedule, viewers can look up program titles, episode details, broadcast duration, and primary genre categories. Because the programming mirrors TVNZ 2, any special live events, breaking announcements, or unannounced schedule adjustments on the main channel will automatically flow through to TVNZ 2 plus 1 one hour later.
