Your country needs you


1.4 million Kiwis watch TVNZ 7 each month but the government has cut funding to the last public service TV channel in New Zealand. Save TVNZ 7 needs your help to change this.

If TVNZ7 gets pulled, New Zealand will have lost 1/3 of the free to air network.

You can help save our public broadcasting service...

Any TV channel takes time to get started and in four short years TVNZ 7 has built a passionate and enthusiastic audience without promotions or listings – just old fashioned word-of-mouth because the programmes are so brilliant. And like the success of public service radio, TVNZ 7 is proving Kiwis want quality TV that is about life in New Zealand and isn’t about amassing the largest audience possible to attract advertisers. Sadly all the TVNZ 7 programmes are going to disappear at the end of June when Government funding for the channel stops.”
