- Of local options, TVNZ 1 at 16% daily reach and TVNZ 2 at 15% have highest reach.
- More than 50% of children say they feel good when they watch stories about NZ and see children that look and speak like them

- Most children (65%) don't have a favourite NZ-made show

- 49% of children aged 6-14 are aware of HEIHEI and 17% have used it
