The government is merging TVNZ and RNZ into ANZPM, or “Anz-Pam”, as it is known within the organisations now. The TVNZ historical drama Panthers was the big winner at the 2022 NZ TV AwardsTVNZ 45, Warner Bros. Yet TVNZ absolutely dominated the TV awards – to such an extent that it was a bit grotesque, almost politically inconvenient. What that says is that the expensive business of making professionally produced TV shows is losing to the chaos and pace of user-generated content for the global social platforms. Those are simply the stakes of the decade, and ANZPM, NZ on Air and the whole TV industry must recognise that if it is to survive.
