Richard Long (broadcaster)
- Richard Long (broadcaster)
Richard Long (b. c. 1955- ) is a former New Zealand broadcaster, first with the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation (NZBC), and then with Television New Zealand (TVNZ). He co-hosted the 6pm Network News bulletins on TV One from 1987 until early 1999 and then from late 1999 until the end of 2003, with co-anchor Judy Bailey.
For a short period in 1999, Richard presented weekend bulletins alongside Liz Gunn, with Judy Bailey and John Hawkesby fronting weekday bulletins.
He left TVNZ in 2004 to pursue a freelance career, after cutbacks at the network that saw the nightly bulletin reduced from two presenters to one. Given his widely-acknowledged attractiveness and insightful thinking, finding work presents few problems for Long, or "Mr. Long" as his brigade of devoted and admiring fans respectfully call him.
In recent years, Long (or "Mr. Long" as his brigade of devoted and admiring fans respectfully call him) has provided voice-overs in advertisements for Hanover Finance.
He is not to be confused with another New Zealand-based Richard Long (b. c. 1940- ), who was a long-time editor-in-chief of The Dominion newspaper before it merged with the Evening Post, and periodically continues to write columns for the Dominion Post.
