 Hon Marian Hobbs - A New TVNZ
In re-establishing TVNZ with the sort of principles under which other public broadcasters around the world operate as a matter of course, we want to bring some balance to its operations.
Under the new arrangement TVNZ will be able to display a greater commitment to the goals of the charter than if it were simply, as a State Owned Enterprise, to provide charter-related services to the government under Section 7 of the SOE Act.
If TVNZ continued to operate under the SOE Act, the charter would in effect merely be the policy of the government of the day.

Television New Zealand (TVNZ) has today won a legal battle in which they will now be able to broadcast footage of two French spies pleading guilty to manslaughter in relation to the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior.

 Free-To-Air Digital Television - TVNZ
TVNZ strongly welcomes the Government's positive response to broadcaster proposals to introduce free-to-air digital broadcasting, and believes the decision represents a significant milestone in the evolution of New Zealand broadcasting.
TVNZ Chief Executive Officer, Rick Ellis, said the announcement signalled a strong commitment by the Government to building new national infrastructure, and to develop TVNZ and public broadcasting in the digital era.
TVNZ's CEO emphasised that although broadcasters would use FreeView to promote digital broadcasting, to provide viewer advice and support, and to co-ordinate technical and industry matters, the broadcasters would compete for viewers just as they do now.

 TVNZ pay systems risky and unfair
The remuneration system at TVNZ is convoluted, risky, unfair and inconsistent, the Parliamentary select committee inquiry into TVNZ has been told today.
Mr Little said that TVNZ staff were concerned about the level of publicity the state broadcaster had received recently.
“It is appropriate that Parliament provides good scrutiny of the governance of TVNZ and of the exercise by shareholding ministers of their rights and obligations as proxy owners on behalf of the public,” he said.

 Beehive.govt.nz - TVNZ's television and transmission operations to be separated
When Cabinet made its decision on TVNZ’s structure in June 2001 it was recognised that the question of whether the transmission business should be separated from TVNZ was finely balanced.
Given the desired change in TVNZ’s focus as a public broadcaster, through the introduction of its charter, it is does not seem sensible to distract the Board and management of TVNZ onto matters associated with BCL’s operations and development.
This is more transparent and accountable than having TVNZ receive some of its revenue from the revenue generated by the transmission side of the company at the discretion of the formerly proposed TVNZ Group Board.

Bill Ralston, TVNZ's head of news, came out swinging viciously about his 7pm time slot rivals suggesting suicide for Prime's Chief Executive Chris Taylor and that TV3 had made "a major cock-up" in replacing John Campbell as news reader prior to the launch of Campbell Live, which starts tonight.
TVNZ has washed its hands of responsibility for the misleading 'ripple effect' created by its 'Close Up @ 7' phone poll on the Civil Union Bill last year, which the network implied showed public opinion overwhelmingly against recognising gay relationships.

Having read the judgment, TVNZ observed that while the judge put the CCS decision to decline a statement of compliance down to “commercial policy reasons” she at no point stated the issue was not one of safety.
TVNZ upheld the complaint about the introduction to the item where it was stated that “now a judge has found the issue wasn’t safety”.
TVNZ also upheld part of the complaint relating to the statement that “dealers are supposed to get the certificates from [CCS]”, but only in relation to the specific use of the word “supposed” (refer to paragraph [19]).

Although TVNZ had not had a serious security breech for several years, network security manager Mike Stoodley says plans to significantly enhance TVNZ's network security meant the company needed to look beyond its own resources for specialist 24 hour expertise from IBM...
TVNZ is a New Zealand state owned broadcaster — operating two 24 hour-a-day television channels (TV ONE and TV2) in addition to a range of subsidiary businesses.
After upgrading its network security capacity, TVNZ decided it did not have the personnel resource in-house to effectively monitor its network, and sought a security partner with best-in-class solutions and expertise to manage this mission critical aspect of its business.

 TVNZ and Johnston - 2004-059
I cannot accept that TVNZ did not expect these young men to break the law and drive at excessive speed on camera.
[10] TVNZ advised the Authority that the programme invited viewers to consider why New Zealanders had a tendency to drive at excessive speeds, and used young male drivers to illustrate “the problem”.
In that context, the Authority does not accept that the speeding behaviour of the young men was glamorised or condoned, or that it promoted standards which were inconsistent with the maintenance of law and order.

 National Business Review (NBR) - Business, News, Arts, Media, Share Market & More
TVNZ presenter Susan Wood has told an employment court she believes there was political interference in her salary negotiations.
TVNZ's head of news Bill Ralston said he had told Wood the size of her original pay packet reflected the fact she came to the rescue of the station after Paul Holmes' sudden departure last year from the evening current affairs show.
His comments about the board of TVNZ being politically appointed and the critical importance of it standing well back from the day-to-day running of particularly news and current affairs was immediately interpreted by the Opposition as a complaint of political interference.

TVNZ is reported to be arranging an audience response tool, similar to the one used during election programmes in 1996.
Mr Peters said that TVNZ has an obligation to broadcast serious current affairs programmes that examine the real issues facing New Zealanders, and the political parties' responses to these issues.
He urged TVNZ programmers not to try to manipulate the election campaign with comedy shows and stacked audiences, but to concentrate on examining policies and questioning political leaders about their plans for the next three years.

Television New Zealand (TVNZ) is the main broadcaster of television in New Zealand, established in 1980 through the merger of Television One and TV2 (formerly South Pacific Television).
In 2004, TVNZ is developing plans to offer a third TV channel, which would meet its public service obligations under the Charter.
In 2000, the Labour government attempted to restructure TVNZ as a public service broadcaster, after accusations that the broadcaster was becoming too commercialised, and introduced a Charter, similar to that of the BBC.

 Feature: The TVNZ problem by Gordon Campbell | New Zealand Listener
Therefore, he concludes, TVNZ should merely be leased – for a period of between seven and 11 years, on condition that the operator must fulfil the government’s terms as a public broadcaster, which may well include elements of the TVNZ charter.
In his view, political interference with TVNZ is not of the overt, shoulder-tapping variety; rather, TVNZ’s structures foster a climate of self-intimidation, and procedures that make it difficult to maximise either the goals of public broadcasting or the economic wellbeing of the company.
One particular example stands out:during the 1990s, the sale by TVNZ of its 35 percent stake in Sky strikes Barnett as a classic instance of the organisation’s tactical vulnerability to its political masters.

 TVNZ’s defence of fast-food advertising leaves foul taste - Green Party
“I am amazed that TVNZ chief executive Ian Fraser is publicly defending fast food advertising and denying that his network influences or harms New Zealand’s children by broadcasting food commercials that promote high fat, high sugar, high salt food to children,” said Ms Kedgley, the Green spokesperson on Broadcasting and on Safe Food.
It quite clearly requires TVNZ to exhibit a sense of social responsibility and to ‘maintain and observe a code of ethics that addresses the level and nature of advertising to which children are exposed.’
His public campaign contravenes TVNZ’s charter-driven social obligations and exposes the conflict at the heart of TVNZ’s Charter between its social obligations and its commercial goals.
