History, a capella chorus, and new talk show for Anika Moa
There’s more diversity than you can shake a stick at, in the latest television funding decisions from NZ On Air.
Distinguished professor of Maori studies Dame Anne Salmond will present Artefact, an ambitious and wide-ranging series using artefacts to explore our culture. Through telling the story and connections of each treasured artefact viewers will discover events that have shaped Aotearoa. The series will screen on Maori Television.
Also on Maori Television, musician Anika Moa, known for her irreverent humour as well as her brilliant music, will host an edgy,entertaining new talk show. Anika and guests will take on the week’s trending topics in All Talk With Anika Moa.
On TV ONE The Naked Choir will showcase the vibrant world of choral singing in communities throughout New Zealand. Groups singing a variety of musical genres a capella will train under a leading New Zealand conductor and choral master. They will be seen at rehearsal and performing in homes, community halls and on street corners throughout the country.
Returning to Maori Television for a second season is the much talked about Game Of Bro’s featuring tikanga and reo and a raft of different cultures. Pani and Pani will continue their quest to find the ultimate Polynesian warrior.
Also on Maori Television, the topic of addiction and the long hard road to recovery will be covered in Ngarara, a one-off documentary.
An extra five episodes to extend the current series of current affairs show The Hui have been supported from the Platinum Fund for TV3. We will also celebrate the best of New Zealand’s music in November with coverage of the 2016 New Zealand Music Awards.
“These latest decisions include exciting new projects that will widen the diversity of programmes for local viewers. History, popular culture and a capella singing, all in prime time and all on demand, means audiences have even more choice in their viewing,” said NZ On Air Chief Executive Jane Wrightson.
