Broadcaster David Beatson is interviewed by Glenn Williams on the news that funding for TVNZ 7 will be discontinued, and parliament’s recent decision to scrap the TVNZ Charter, has raised concerns about the government’s future commitment to public broadcasting.

One solution being suggested is to leverage the current resources at Radio NZ. Do we need to reinvent public broadcasting? David Beatson is speaking on this at a forum held at Unitec in Auckland on August 11.
