A group in favour of public media suggests TVNZ could be fully funded through levies.
It comes as the government-owned broadcaster begins consultation on whether to cut up to 68 jobs – a week after Newshub announced it would axe its entire news operation.
The Better Public Media Trust said TVNZ could be funded at a cost of $60 per person annually. Trustee Myles Thomas said it was inevitable more cuts would be needed as the organisation’s commercial income shrank.
