This is the first time I saw Te Karere being subtitled in English. Also the newsroom is somewhat noisy.
Is TVNZ a public broadcaster or merely a commercial broadcaster? Does TVNZ consider airing Te Karere as an obligation considering that the Maori language is one of the languages used in New Zealand? How about Maori Television?
Public broadcasting in New Zealand is very fragmented. Funding comes from the government body NZ On Air, set up in 1989, which bankrolls a lot of TV, radio, web series, and even music videos. All of these are hard to fund commercially in a small country.
Any broadcaster can apply with an idea for a show, and indeed any website can. One of the best (and only) recent NZ documentaries, The Valley, about the Afghanistan war, was a co-production of the website Stuff and TV3.
Māori Television is the only real public-service TV broadcaster just now: it's in English and Māori and shows a range of genres on a modest budget, mostly around Māori themes. It's funded by Te Māngai Pāho - like NZ On Air, but to promote Māori culture via media. This money is guaranteed by law, due to the government's historic neglect of the culture.
Its daily news show is Te Kāea:

RNZ (Radio NZ) is a trio of public stations, but RNZ has been branching into video and TV content recently. Generally it's got the most serious journalism in the country, and RNZ National is one of the country's most popular stations because of this.
Some radio programs are televised (on Freeview ch 50 or below). Mostly "radio with pictures" type stuff in John Campbell's living room, but it's a start.
This was the election show from 2017:

TVNZ is commercial but the state gets the profits - usually less than £10m a year. TVNZ could also be compared to Channel 4 schedule-wise, if C4 was having a bad day and showed 90% imports. And if its news was tabloidy and superficial. And the next show was hosted by a duller Kiwi Richard Littlejohn type giving his opinions.
So, not much like C4 or the BBC. It's uncertain what TVNZ's purpose is now - it's largely similar to its commercial rival Three, as the TVNZ charter was abolished in 2011. Each channel has some publicly-funded shows with ads, like the Māori news Te Karere, but the (commercial) TVNZ 1 News got into trouble for a cackhanded survey on race, which a more diverse broadcaster would have avoided. For a 'national broadcaster', it's failing to represent a wide view of the country. I hope it'll get better (the Littlejohn guy has quit...).
Your opinions and "facts" re; tvnz amuse me a great deal.

BBC Weather changes preview
Why do UK weather forecasts have place names on the maps all the time? Like I'm a bit concerned you dont know the location of the town or location your visiting? Adds clutter for no reason. If you're going for zooms and flyovers then add them but they don't need to be in the full screen version of that map.

I like them, they're simple. Rain cloud etc is obvious and it's smooth and does what it needs. I don't like the boxes though with temp or location and the location pointer, it's all a bit cluttered other than that they've done well.

Because nobody has heard of Katya Adler.
Like it or not it's an industry where pay reflects profile as much as professionalism. In addition most Brexit coverage is done by the political team rather than the Europe Bureau.
Really??
I think that’s rather unfair - I’d argue she is well known having been around a long time as a BBC correspondent including a long spell in the Middle East.
Certainly a name and face of familiarity to any viewer of BBC World News, and having featured in a multitude of countdowns in the past 10 plus years.
Carrie Gracie resignation
Could anyone arguing Jon Sopel's North America brief is the most important please explain to me why it's worth up to (or over) £100,000 more than Katya Adler's Europe brief, please? Katya is routinely breaking news on one of the biggest and most important issues facing the country, and the news agenda clearly prioritises Brexit over American stories.
