New team for Native Affairs
Meanwhile, Maori Television has announced a revamp of its Native Affairs programme, which has been hit by a wave of resignations amid allegations of editorial interference.
The channel's head of news and current Affairs Maramena Roderick says the show will be co-hosted by former diplomat and Ngati Mutunga o Wharekauri Iwi Trust general manager Ward Kamo and reporter Billie-Jo Hohepa Ropiha.
New additions to the reporting team include Rewa Harriman, Wena Harawira, Maiki Sherman and Matai Smith.
mS Roderick says audiences are changing and the channel needs to respond with a team who can face the challenge head on.
