      <title>Does ‘No-Surprises’ Also Apply To TVNZ News?</title>

But that’s an odd choice given that these programmes were big money earners for TVNZ – fully funded by NZ on Air and Te M?ngai P?ho, TVNZ charged their production facilities at top rate to the M?ori and Pacific department and paid nothing for the content that filled their advert-free Sunday morning timeslot. It was a win-win for our nakedly commercial state broadcaster.]]></description>
