Greg Boyed’s Tonight news colleagues pay touching tribute to much loved presenter

August 23, 2018

Greg was the face of the Tonight show in recent years – this is how his team remembered him.

1 NEWS' Greg Boyed was an accomplished journalist who worked across nearly every TVNZ news program over 20 years here at TVNZ.

But he was best known for his work on the late night Tonight news, the show on which he was the solo presenter.

He was on holiday from the show  when he died in Switzerland earlier this week.
