A note from the CE

Cam Harland, Chief Executive
Tēna koe.
It is the end of the financial year and our first Matariki holiday has signalled the start of the new year, a chance to reflect on the past year and a time to plan for the year ahead. And there is much to both reflect on and plan for.
In terms of reflection, we have just completed the first funding round for the new financial year – and also the biggest – with over $10.4m earmarked for Factual projects, $17.8m for Scripted projects and a further $4.1m in place to support Public Interest Journalism. Our huge congratulations to all those who were successful this round (you can see more details below) – our only wish is that we could support more projects.
Looking back on the first half of 2022, we are very proud of the cross-agency initiative, Te Puna Kairangi, in collaboration with NZ Film Commission and Te Māngai Pāho. This year, we invested $4.8m from the NZ Media Fund to top up six projects that represented Aotearoa to international and local audiences.
We have also produced a refreshed, research-based Children’s content funding strategy that will direct how we reach and strengthen on-screen representation of our tamariki and rangatahi in future.
Mention must also be made of the huge amount of work that has taken place on the Public Interest Journalism Fund (PIJF) this past year. The audience impact of the fund has surpassed expectations. At last count, there have been more than 32 million page views of PIJF content and more than 25,000 pieces of content produced.
Two Music showcases in the past few months, put together by our wonderful Music team, have spotlighted up and coming new artists. In May, we joined with our friends at APRA AMCOS, Waiata Anthems, NZ Music Commission and Te Māngai Pāho to host a Waiata Reo Māori event that showcased waiata reo Māori songwriters and performers, and the big increase in bilingual music releases. It was a beautiful night and one we were immensely proud to be part of. Congratulations also goes to eight radio stations that were recently awarded for playing over 20% local music.
We have bid a fond farewell to Board member Helen Grattan, who gave us seven years of superb service, and welcomed onto our Board Andrew Shaw, who is well known in the television sector and will add an enormous depth of experience to our mahi.
Looking ahead, the appointment of our new Minister, the Hon. Willie Jackson, and the plans afoot for the new Aotearoa New Zealand Public Media entity (ANZPM) are reasons to be excited. We welcome the focus and investment in public media, and we are well-placed with our flexible funding model to adapt to change. We look forward to working closely with the Minister and the Ministry for Culture and Heritage to continue to innovate and engage with audiences on an ever-increasing range of platforms.
Finally, it was wonderful to attend the recent Big Screen Symposium. This was a great opportunity to meet (in an actual face-to-face event, finally!) with members of the wider screen community and talk about the challenges and opportunities ahead for our sector. What excited me most, was the positivity and the clear breadth of talent that sits within our industry.
We have no shortage of wonderful projects that are pitched to us through our various funds. As I said at the BSS, we applaud you for we have nothing to fund without your talent. I, for one, look forward with a sense of great optimism.
Kia pai tō rā

NZ On Air radio airplay awards
Recently four nationwide radio networks received NZ On Air awards for reaching the voluntary 20 percent Aotearoa music airplay threshold in 2021.
The stations are ZM (28.29%), Mai FM (24.1%), The Edge (20.79%) and George FM (28.6%). Also, four regional stations were awarded for achieving the 20 percent threshold – NiuFM (69.2%), PulzarFM (35.46%) in Christchurch, and Whakatane-based Q97 (23.16%) and Bayrock FM (35%).
The data gathered for the awards relates to airplay on commercial radio only and doesn’t include music played on public, student and iwi radio – which all have legislated benchmarks that commercial stations do not. Their data is tracked separately and also shows exceptional local content airplay results.
Also there has also been a steady increase in waiata reo Māori played on commercial radio. Airplay data received from Radioscope/Recorded Music NZ shows an unprecedented increase in waiata reo Māori in 2021, with substantial play during peak times on some of the biggest radio networks.
