NGĀ HAU
TIPUA – Monday
July 19 at 7.00 PM Having fashioned himself as the number one sports commentator in te reo Māori on Radio Waatea and the presenter of the sports news on Māori Television’s TE KĀEA, it was inevitable that his expertise would lead him to present NGĀ HAU TIPUA. The programme previews and reviews mainstream sports in total te reo Māori, often only hours after the event may have happened. It also profiles up-and-coming Māori sports stars. “By being placed on a Monday night at 7:00 PM, NGĀ HAU TIPUA actually gets the jump on all other sports shows and is quite a risky move, considering a lot of the events covered happen within the previous 24 hours,” says executive producer Bailey Mackey. Each week, the show has two panellists who help to look at the issues of the week in a more in-depth manner. These are usually people who have played the sport at a high level, or perhaps nationally renowned broadcasters. Because many high profile Māori athletes do not speak Māori, the programme also features a section in English where Wilcox sits down for a one on one probing interview with the likes of Stacey Jones, Adam Parore or perhaps Temepara Clarke. “I think it’s important that we don’t rob our viewers of the opportunity to see the likes of our high profile sports stars who can’t speak Māori, like All Black Kees Meews and golfer Phillip Tataurangi on NGĀ HAU TIPUA, as it is important that our audience gratification is at the same level as any other major sports shows out there,” says Mackey. This week, the programme will include coverage of the weekend’s wet and messy All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe Cup match in Wellington and analysis of the opposing teams’ form. Hemara Waaka and Te Kauhoe Wano are also joining the programme as guests on the panel to review the three New Zealand vs Australia hockey tests, this week’s NRL wrap-up, the successful Māori martial arts course offered at Te Kura Kaupapa Māori O Hoani Waititi, and more. Plus, Haututu will be talking about children on holidays and what to do to keep them busy.
Tune in tonight at 7.00 PM for your week’s fix of sports!
