Establishment of ANZPM Comes to a Halt


SPADA welcomes Prime Minister Chris Hipkins' announcement on 08 February 2023 regarding the Aotearoa New Zealand Public Media entity. TVNZ and RNZ would have been merged under the new entity, and the PM's announcement that it's scrapping the work programme provides clarity and certainty to the local production sector. 

SPADA is also pleased to hear that RNZ and NZ On Air will receive an increase in Government funding to support strong public media content across a range of platforms. Details regarding budget allocation are still to be released.

SPADA's submission on the ANZPM Bill can be found here.

A summary of the various organisation's responses can be found at The Spinoff HERE, NZ On Air's statement can be read HERE, nd the RNZ Commissioning team's statement is HERE.
