KUPUHUNA : 100% ADDICTIVE, 100% TE REO MĀORI
 The Māori language game show that rewards super-quick minds with cool cash launches on Māori Television this Tuesday July 26 at 5.30 PM.
KUPUHUNA is a unique Māori language-based game show that pairs fluent te reo Māori speakers with second-language learners to compete for up to $1000 per episode. Its launch marks a week of programming dedicated to the language for Te Wiki ō Te Reo Māori, or Māori Language Week, and will continue to screen on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights at 5.30 PM.
Produced by former Shortland Street actor-turned-producer Quinton Hita, the series marks his production company Kura Productions’ first foray into television production as a joint venture with South Pacific Pictures. The programme is sponsored by Te Taura Whiri i Te Reo Māori (the Māori Language Commission).
KUPUHUNA is presented by Te Ori Paki (Tainui, Ngāti Tuwharetoa, Tuhoe) who credits his parents as being pioneers for raising their nine children in a home where the Maori language, values and principles were the norm. Te Ori will be well known to many Maori Television viewers for his role on the popular lifestyle programme, Mitre 10 Marae DIY.
How does it work? Take two well known New Zealanders (or cluegivers) and two contestants per episode. Pair them up and play them off each week, with team members communicating the kupuhuna (password) to their partners by giving one-word clues.
The fun really starts as the action jumps from one team to the other while they decipher the hidden word in a race against the clock.
The first team to reach the magic money target wins the chance to play in the quick-fire round, where one team member must convey 12 words to their partner using one-word clues in just 60 seconds. With time running out and only the first letter to help them, quick wits and nerves of steel are essential to claim the prize jackpot that multiplies with every word guessed correctly.
Throughout the series, 48 contestants will be whittled down to 24 in round two, 12 in round three and six in round four until there are only three contestants left in the game. The contestant with the most money to date goes straight through to the final.
KUPUHUNA launches on Māori Television this Tuesday July 26 at 5.30 PM.

THE WORLD OF CAREERS TWO BY TWO ON MĀORI TELEVISION
CORPORATE WARRIORS, launching on Māori Television this Friday July 29 at 8.30 PM, is an entertainment show with a kaupapa.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to enter another profession? If so, you're in for a treat! Our corporate warriors – Waikato-based brothers Ora and Kiki Kihi – decide to turn their worlds upside down by taking on new jobs each week of this Maui Productions series.
These corporate warriors will be taken out of their comfort zones as they try different and new occupations. The results will be hilarious as our duo attempt to reach the high standards set by their mentors. Be prepared for mayhem and chaos as the brothers give anything and everything a go!
Each episode of the 13-part, bilingual series sees them learn new aspects of the job and be given a set task to complete, under the guidance of a selected mentor. No challenge will be too demanding as the duo are tested to their physical and mental limits – whether that be keeping the streets safe as a Māori warden or entertaining children as a circus clown.
Ora and Kiki are ex pupils of Te Wharekura o Rākaumanga in Huntly – in fact, Ora has returned to the school as a teacher. Born and bred in the area, both boys have attended university in the past – aside from spending their spare time indulging in everything from sport to kapa haka to music to art. Kiki has previously been seen on Māori Television as the presenter of rangatahi show Te Maioha.
In the first episode screening on Friday July 29, the boys are set to take on the challenge of two very contrasting job situations. Kiki’s challenge is to become a rafting guide with Rotorua-based Kaitiaki Adventures. On the other side of the coin, Ora gets to stay warm and dry with all hands on as he finds out what it’s like to be a masseur at Hell’s Gate.
CORPORATE WARRIORS – double the dosage on Māori Television this Friday July 29 at 8.30 PM.
