Broadcaster Support:
All programmes we fund must be broadcast on one of these free-to-air channels:
** TV One
** TV2
** TV3
** FOUR
** Prime
** Maori Television
A commitment to broadcast is required before applying for funding. This is because we don’t want taxpayer money going to waste.
The broadcaster will confirm their support, including their financial contribution, to us separately using the Broadcaster Commitment form.
Development:
Development funding is for researching or writing scripts or treatments. We mostly contribute to drama; and occasionally to documentary development
Platinum Fund:
The Platinum Fund is a special contestable fund for programmes with something important to say about New Zealand. The fund supports quality content that is currently difficult to find on our screens or which requires a high level of public investment to be made.
Request for Proposals:
From time to time, if we have detected a gap in content, we may go to the market to seek the content we require. In these cases we issue a Request For Proposals (RFP).
Regional TV:
We fund programming for broadcast on regional stations.
Our priorities for the Regional Television Programme Fund are regional news and information programmes.
What We Fund ?
** Our Factual content investments will help us meet our three goals: Quality, Diverse and Discoverable content.
By Quality we mean :
** Well-made funded content will reflect New Zealand in engaging and informative ways
** Funded content will be seen to be different to similar local content made without
** public funding.
By Diverse we mean :
** New Zealanders will appreciate local content made for audiences with diverse interests
** Content creators will have a range of opportunities to make different types of local content.
By Discoverable we mean :
** Funded content will be available and enjoyed by audiences on the platforms they use
** Funded content will be online and free to watch or listen to at the beginning of its life and at regular points thereafter.
What is diversity?
** When we talk about diversity, we have some key audiences in mind. Not all factual content will be relevant, but here are some specific goals we will try to achieve.
Children and youth :
** We will help grow great New Zealanders by providing enriching local content for children that encourages imagination and curiosity.
Pacific audiences :
** We will ensure diverse content made for Pacific peoples in New Zealand is accessible, enjoyed and valued.
Other ethnic populations :
** We will support valued content serving other ethnic populations in New Zealand that exceed 100,000. At this time these are Indian and Chinese New Zealanders. NB: funded access radio also provides options for both these and smaller populations.
Regional audiences :
** We will support valued regional news and information, for communities of reasonable size, as content that national media can rarely provide.
Other community minorities of reasonable size :
** We will support valued projects as opportunities permit including content that reflects diverse religious and ethical beliefs.
People with disabilities :
** We will support valued stories about disability both to be inclusive and to provide insight for a general audience. We will make funding available for content to be made accessible for those with sight and hearing impairments.
