"People are worried about what could be proposed and want greater consultation."

"As I discussed in the news & content hui and my email following this I am now ready to put a proposal to you on a proposed new way for how the news team could operate and structure itself.

"This meeting is to present a proposal to you which I would like your feedback on.

E Tū union said it was aware of the meeting being held but was not aware of the content of the proposal.

The meeting comes two years after TVNZ cut 48.5 full time jobs in 2024.

The state-owned broadcast posted a statutory profit of $16.3 million in the year to June, although the result was largely due to a $34.9 million positive non-cash impairment adjustment.

Its underlying result, which excludes the adjustment, was a loss of $18.7 million.
