Isn’t the charter working well?

TVNZ have an impossible task – to be both a commercial broadcaster and a public service broadcaster. The TVNZ Charter has confused the company. And this is not just my opinion but also what former CEO Ian Fraser who was a charter supporter.

So the massive slashing of news and current affairs jobs at TVNZ, is not so much the fault of the company, but the Govt.

The charter is a disaster. 99% of NZers couldn’t tell you what programmes are or are not charter programmes to save their life.

Sell off TV2 and make TV One a public service broadcaster. Or sell them both off. But the status quo is not working.
