Media and Communications Minister, Paul Goldsmith, has today announced the appointment of broadcaster, Paul Henry, to the TVNZ Board.
“Mr Henry has spent nearly his entire career involved in the broadcasting industry, producing news, current affairs, and entertainment programming both here in New Zealand and overseas,” said Mr Goldsmith.
“He was integral in the establishment of the successful multi-platform Paul Henry breakfast show, established and sold a radio station in the Wairarapa, and was heavily involved in the launch of the former radio network Today FM.
“He has a deep and passionate understanding of the sector and will enhance the board’s insight and strategic decision making.
“I am aware Mr Henry is set to host The Chase New Zealand. However, I am advised any perceived conflict can be effectively managed.”
The Minister also announced the reappointment of John Quirk, who has served on the TVNZ Board since 2023.
“Mr Quirk brings over 20 years of governance, strategic leadership, investment, and corporate advisory experience, with a particular focus on technology, digital transformation, and high-growth companies,” said Mr Goldsmith.
