No Big Brother on TV in NZ yet :-(

Big Brother 2006 has started in Australia but is not being shown on TV here in New Zealand yet. No TV network seems to want to screen it. Here's some emails that I received back from the TV networks:

First email - from TVNZ on 10 April 2006:

Hi there,
No we don't have this programme purchased or in the schedule. Sorry we can not help this time.
Thanks for your email.

Second email - from TV3 on 13 April 2006:

Hi Adam,
Thanks for your feedback. Due to issues regarding rights we are not going to be screening Big Brother.
Regards,
MARTIN STREET

Third email - from Sky TV on 24 April 2006:

Good Afternoon Adam
Thank you for your email. Unfortunately neither SKY nor Prime have any plans to pick up the rights to the new series of Big Brother.
Kind Regards
Lucilla King
Programming Liaison Officer

Fourth email - from TVNZ on 28 April 2006:

Hello there,
We are so pleased you enjoyed the last series of Australian Big Brother.At this moment our programmers are in talks with the Producers of the programme.We hope to let our Big Brother fans know as soon as possible if we will be screening the programme.
Thanks for your email.
Kind regards

So that last email offers a little glimmer of hope. I'll keep you informed.
