TVNZ chief operating officer Brent McAnulty says the broadcaster had to consider “better candidates for investment” in axing Fair Go and Sunday, despite the shows being profitable.
McAnulty was amongst a panel of media industry experts fronting a Better Public Media meeting, where he was questioned why TVNZ cancelled the legacy shows in March.
“Profit is profit, but there might be a better candidate for that investment that will see a better return for us, so we have to keep that in mind,” he said.
