The only local content that interests me is domestic sport. The rest is just cringe worthy...

Not to say there haven't been a number of outstanding local productions, just not enough to sustain a channel.

It is important as it keeps me aware of my surroundings
 
Apart from FIFA World Cup 2010, the last local content I made an effort to watch was Big Brother Season 1, think it was 2001/2002?
 
I have not watched a local production at least the past 5 years. I have not come across a single movie or series that caught my attention and made me interested. I am much rather focusing on the latest US and British content. There I am always sure of at least one or more good shows.
 
I think Carte Blanche is good. I don't watch it often though. I used to enjoy Top Billing even if it was twee.
Couldn't give a f about non-english content, soapies etc.

a lot of good NZ programs end up doing well internationally.

Almighty Johnsons did ok and Brokenwood Mysteries was recently rated the best mystery show on Acorn TV.

Apologies for thread derail, how is Acorn TV? Content, app usability etc?
 
Local content is VERY important to me as I want watch stories and shows I can actually relate to but the messed up thing is that most if not all of these local shows are filled with mediocre actors/actresses and I can't deal.
 
Last poll I saw on most watched shows in SA it was local soaps so my exclusive science fiction /adventure/fantasy watching opinion does not count. I also have not had DSTV for 5+ years now
