TVNZ is holding meetings with reporters, camera operators, and other staff to discuss proposed cuts that aim to eliminate approximately 50 jobs, part of a broader restructuring to save $30 million.
The ailing legacy media outlet has suggested dis-establishing 90 roles while creating 41 new ones, impacting departments across Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington.
Staff from key areas, including the Q+A team and 1News website, are attending individual and group meetings led by management and union representatives, with many expressing anxiety over potential layoffs and outsourcing plans set for 2026.
TVNZ CEO Jodi O’Donnell has deferred final decisions on the restructuring until early December following employee feedback.
They knew what they were doing when they lied to the country about “safe and Effective” so I really have no sympathy for them as an organization.
Just close TVNZ completely, we’ve had enough of their woke globalist rubbish especially crap they push like Trans and Pregnant. We don’t actually need any News Channels anymore as everyone with a functioning common sense brain, just goes live stream to actual journalists on the scene rather than the highly censored PC rubbish delivered by Barbie and Ken type newsreaders. Had to visit some legacy websites this morning for first time in many years, just to see their meltdowns haha.
Just shut that crap propaganda channel down and use txpayers money saved to fund potholes. Then replace programming with reruns of Hogans Heroes, they will get more viewers.
Loved Hogans Hero’s back in the day, definitively an upgrade from One Spews….
Have not watched free to air TV in years But, I would certainly watch re-runs of Hagans Heroes, Green Acres, My Favorite Martian, Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie as well.
Why not just close the thing down completely and out the money into healthcare. I’m sure people would prefer good health to propaganda.
Must be a bit gloomy for them lot eh? 😂
Not too much fun, all keeping their heads down, some quietly smug knowing it won’t be them, others trying to keep out of sight for fear of getting the cut too. Skulking about the place. Sympathetic eyes when being confronted. Then those that are left having to do he best they can in a shitty environment minus the joyous atmosphere. How sorry we are to hear of this.
The first bit of good news I’ve seen for a while.
