New Presenter for Breakfast

New Presenter for Breakfast

Tamati Coffey has been appointed to Breakfast, TVNZ's early morning News and Current Affairs programme. Tamati leaves What Now to join the Breakfast team as roving reporter and weather presenter.

TVNZ Head of News and Current Affairs Anthony Flannery said Tamati is one of the most exciting young personalities on New Zealand television.

"Tamati will bring his own brand of TV magic, and a huge fan base of kids and parents, to Breakfast. His humour, intelligence and strength as a live performer are a great addition to the team."

Tamati completed an honours degree in Political Studies at the University of Auckland before becoming one of the presenters on iconic kid's show What Now. Tamati will begin his new role with Breakfast later this month.

He joins Paul Henry, newly-appointed co-host Pippa Wetzell and newsreader Peter Williams as the daily faces of the new-look Breakfast.
