NZ On Air funds major cultural events for TV audiences

Posted Tuesday 29 Jun 2010

Four major cultural events will seen by television audiences due to NZ On Air investments announced in June. Montana World of Wearable Arts (WOW) will screen prime time on Prime TV, Style Pasifika 2010 has also secured funding so it can be enjoyed by TV One audiences. The QANTAS Film and Television Awards will also return to our screen in September, this year on TV One. "These coveted awards showcase the best of New Zealand television and film talent. We're proud to help support the best screen work made here in New Zealand" said NZ On Air Chief Executive Jane Wrightson. In a quieter vein, Nine Lessons and Carols, featuring a choral performance by Wellington's St Paul's Cathedral Choir, has also been supported for Christmas Eve scheduling on TV One.
