Before going off the air, a New Zealand news outlet filmed its coverage of the UK general election.

The final Newshub broadcasts occurred on Friday, coinciding with the UK's election results, which showed a landslide victory for Labour with over 410 MPs.

Recording outside Downing Street, Newshub Europe correspondent, Lisette Reymer told her viewers: “The change has appeared inevitable for months, if not years.

“Today’s result was so predictable I was able to confidentially film this weeks in advance before flying home to New Zealand.”

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party won a huge majority, which had been forecasted by pollsters for months before the election was called by the former premier Rishi Sunak.

Warner Bros Discovery announced the closure of Newshub in April.

Presented by Samantha Hayes and Mike McRoberts, the news anchors gave an emotional goodbye to the programme, appearing tearful on air.

McRoberts told viewers: “Thank you for being our people, we’ve absolutely loved being yours.”
