 State
of the Art Technology
Māori Television will be using state of the art technology
to give people on the street a chance to have their say about
the channel or other issues.
Barry Russ, Māori Television’s General Manager Operations,
said Te Kokonga Korero is an interactive, user pays booth with
digital camera and sound gear which is located at the station’s
Newmarket headquarters.
Members of the public will be able to pay a gold coin donation
to voice their opinions on camera with the possibility of the
message being broadcast on TV. If successful, the booth could
be replicated around the country.

Te
Kāea
The
Māori News Leader
Every night - 8.30pm
What’s the difference between the
news in Māori and Māori news? Plenty when you watch
Māori Television’s nightly news programme, Te
Kāea. Broadcasting live each night at 8.30pm, Te
Kāea provides news stories from within Māori
communities in Aotearoa and mainstream stories nationally
and internationally.
According to General
Manager of News, Current Affairs and Sport, Tawini Rangihau,
if there’s anything
happening in the world that’s of interest, Te
Kāea will present
the Māori perspective on it.
”Our point of difference is that we’ll
always try to present news which is not just mainstream news
translated into Māori,” says
Ms Rangihau. “Some of it will be news that mainstream
aren’t interested in and it won’t always be about
the bad news that’s happening in Māoridom.
We’re not trying to compete for news with the other networks.”
Te Kāea’s
weather bulletins don’t just include temperature highs
and lows either. Māori maramataka
information is also included with moon and tide updates, ensuring
viewers know the best times to fish or plant their kumara and
riwai.
The show will also
reflect the many tribal and dialectical differences among
Māori
today. Te Kāea news team is
made up of fluent Māori speakers
from all over the country.
Ngārimu Daniels
(Tūhoe, Te Arawa Ngāti
Whātua ki Kaipara) presents Te
Kāea each night with
sports presenter, Julian Wilcox (Ngā Puhi,
Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Te Arawa).
The weekends are hosted by Rongomaiāniwaniwa
Milroy (Tūhoe, Te Arawa). Te Kāea’s
newsroom is staffed by a team of eight reporters, all of whom
have been raised by their elders as first language speakers
and who know how to tune in to Māori
communities.
With state of the art technology not available
at any other TV station in the country, Te Kāea is
in a unique position to be able to fuse technology with quality
Māori language to tell good
stories.
Presented in 100 percent
te reo Māori,
the channel is working towards eventually broadcasting Te
Kāea with English
subtitles.
For Māori news (and not the news
in Māori), tune in to Te Kāea,
live every night at 8.30pm on Māori Television.
