U Live was the flagship show of TVNZ U, airing live from 4pm - 7pm daily. The show featured music, interviews, and other general interest content. Viewers were invited to participate via Facebook to vote in psychic readings, take part in discussions, and view the show via a live commercial- and graphic-free stream, where comments and psychic readings would then be played live. U Live was hosted by Connor Nestor, Matthew Gibb, Kirsteen Mackenzie, Eli Matthewson and Monika Barton. U Live drew many parallels to TVNZ's rival network Mediaworks' youth-oriented show FOUR Live , which aired on FOUR.
