In 1992 Hawkesby moved to TV3 as newsreader and in 1995 and 1996 was voted TV Guide's People's Choice "Best Presenter", and "Best Newsreader". On 16 February 1998, Hawkesby left TV3 after the introduction of a co-anchor. He was due to start presenting alongside Carol Hirschfeld, but after pulling out at the last moment, John Campbell filled his place. For 3 weeks in January–February 1999, in a controversial move, Hawkesby became a weekday newsreader for ONE News, replacing Richard Long (who moved to presenting weekend bulletins alongside ). TVNZ's reason for this change was to try and capture some of the chemistry that Bailey and Hawkesby had during their days presenting Top Half. The change was short-lived, Long returned to the weekday bulletins, presenting alongside Bailey and Hawkesby received a $5.2m payout. In 2005 the highest paid New Zealand newsreaders received $800,000pa. John is the father of former TVNZ broadcaster Kate Hawkesby, and is the father-in-law of fellow broadcaster Mike Hosking. In August 1997, Hawkesby published "Save The Last Dance For Me". Since leaving the broadcasting industry, Hawkesby has been active in the New Zealand wine scene as a judge and reviewer. In the 2011 Queen's Birthday Honours, he was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to broadcasting and the community. (en)
