The Telethon is to return to television - this time on TV3 renamed as The Big Night In and supporting children's charity group KidsCan.
The Telethon as we knew it has not been seen on New Zealand screens for more than 15 years, but organisers of the TV3 version say the 22 hour broadcast will feature many of the traditional favourites such as dares and the phone bank.
The television fundraiser will aim raise at least $2 million for KidsCan to help the estimated 42,000 disadvantaged children in New Zealand.
The Big Night In will screen on TV3 the weekend of June 20th and 21st in 2009.
