The first series of ''New Zealand's Got Talent'' began airing on Prime on 8 September 2008 and ran to 28 October 2008. It consisted of 13 episodes. In March 2008, Prime announced it was producing a version of ''New Zealand's Got Talent'', in conjunction with South Pacific Pictures and FremantleMedia, with a grand prize of NZ$100,000. In June, actress Miriama Smith was announced as the first of the show's three judges, and television presenter Andrew Mulligan and radio host Jason Reeves were announced as the show's two presenters. In July, the final two judges were announced - former ''NZ Idol'' judge Paul Ellis and former ''Radio With Pictures'' presenter and television producer Richard Driver. It was the first and only series of ''New Zealand's Got Talent'' produced by Prime. The series had not delivered expected advertising revenue and in 2009, the network confirmed that they would not produce any further series. Subsequent to the series lackluster performance, the franchise rights were acquired by TVNZ for a more successful second series run in 2012. ==Auditions== The audition process started in May 2008 with an initial registration period for applicants. The top applicants were then invited to the judges auditions rounds in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in August. The series started with highlights from the judges shows, one episode per location, starting on Monday 8 September. From this round, the judges chose 32 contestants to go through to the semi-finals. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Zealand's Got Talent (series 1)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
