Close Up is a half-hour long New Zealand current affairs programme produced by Television New Zealand. The programme airs at 7.00pm weeknights (straight after One News) on TV ONE and is presented by Mark Sainsbury with Paul Henry as the back up supporting host.

The show remains the country's most watched night news and current affairs show.

The new Close Up began broadcasting on November 2, 2004 as a replacement for the Holmes show immediately after Paul Holmes announced his resignation[1] from TVNZ and that he would be presenting a similar show on Prime in 2005. The show was originally branded as Close Up at 7 using the existing Holmes studio but when the show relaunched in 2005 it was just branded as Close Up with a new-look studio.

Close Up was hosted by Susan Wood from its first show in 2004 until December 4, 2006 when she resigned from TVNZ, citing health problems[2].

Close Up competes with the TV3 current affairs show Campbell Live, and shares the same time slot with TV2 drama Shortland Street.

Previous version

In the 1980s, Close Up was a weekly, hour-long current affairs' programme, looking more in depth into domestic news topics of the day, much in the mould of 60 Minutes.
