TVNZ Responds To Mitsubishi Withdrawal

The sponsors of the HOLMES programme, Mitsubishi Motors, have elected to cancel their sponsorship of the show. While TVNZ regrets this decision, it respects Mitsubishi's wishes to do so.

Paul Holmes is widely acknowledged as the country's leading broadcaster, he has been a loyal employee of the company for the past 14 years and continues to front his nightly show on TV ONE. TVNZ condemns the comments he made on radio last week, a statement made outside TVNZ's domain.

TVNZ is proud to be a member of the EEO Trust. As a member, we work to maintain a high standard of equity and fairness in the workplace. TVNZ adheres to the EEO Trust guidelines of ensuring a non-discriminatory work environment and this is a responsibility shared by all employees.
