Te Māngai Pāho Plays Down Funding Disagreement
PRESS RELEASE 24 SEPTEMBER 2014
Te Māngai Pāho Plays Down
Funding Disagreement
The Chief Executive of Te Māngai Pāho, John Bishara, today said that today’s media reports of a funding disagreement with Māori Television had come as a complete surprise to him.
“I have received an explanation from Māori Television on this issue. My understanding is that some internal discussions at Māori Television over new terms and conditions introduced in the latest funding round were prematurely translated into an external communication to some producers. I have been assured by Māori Television that they regret this error.”
“My immediate response was to identify the particular reservations that Māori Television personnel had over these changes and these have now been satisfactorily addressed. The projects funded in the latest round will proceed as planned.”
