Māori TV Board Appointment Welcomed

I would like to acknowledge and congratulate Kingi Kiriona who has been appointed to the Board of Māori TV said Minister for Māori Development Nanaia Mahuta

I was notified by Te Mātawai that a process had been undertaken to nominate a member who could progress the aspirations of reo revitalisation in a broadcasting environment that is continuing to evolve.

Māori TV has reached its twenty year milestone and is now at a juncture to set a new strategic vision for the way ahead.

Mr Kiriona has broadcasting experience and has also contribute to language development so I am confident that he will make a great contribution to the future resilience and planning currently underway at Māori TV.
