Jodi O'Donnell: Heather Du Plessis-Allan talks with Jodi O’Donnell on TVNZ’s $10.7m profit.

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

There are questions over whether TVNZ cut too many jobs as it turns a surprisingly strong profit.  The broadcaster's reported an after-tax profit of nearly $26million dollars - after an $85million dollar loss last year.  But it comes after the broadcaster cut jobs - including canning production of programmes like Fair Go, Sunday and the midday and night-time news bulletins.  Talking to Heather Du-Plessis Allan, CEO Jodi O'Donnell denied that the cuts were excessive.  She says the company had to make decisions to ensure the business remained sustainable into the future.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
