"One of TVNZ’s most enduring and popular shows, Fair Go, will be axed, the state broadcaster has confirmed to staff today.
Fair Go staff met TVNZ bosses on Tuesday morning - two days after the 47th anniversary of the consumer show’s first episode in 1977 - and were told the show would end, as earlier proposed.
The Midday and Tonight news bulletins would also be ending, as earlier planned. It is understood some reporters are being redeployed within the TVNZ newsroom.
Fair Go staff are among up to 68 roles to be cut by TVNZ.
Sunday staff will meet tomorrow to learn their fate. A Sunday source says they hold little hope the show will be saved in light of events today.
About 100 protesters, including TVNZ staff, gathered outside the broadcaster’s head office in central Auckland in opposition to the cancellations on March 28.
Sunday presenter Miriama Kamo told the Herald that as journalists, they didn’t want to be on the other side of the microphone and it felt unusual.
“The fourth estate is a very important pillar of our democracy, and I’m not sure how much that’s understood by our power brokers,” Kamo said.
She said Sunday was the last long-form current affairs show of its kind, and once it went, there would be nothing like it again."
