TVNZ confirms plans to axe roles but quiet on numbers

TVNZ has confirmed plans to axe roles within its organisation but is remaining tight-lipped on numbers.

The government-owned broadcaster previously proposed job cuts to 50 roles including reducing its news and current affairs unit as a move to save $30 million.

The proposal included reducing the number of its presenters on Breakfast from four to two and removing four of its camera operators.

The broadcaster confirmed with staff on Thursday which proposed roles would go ahead and those that would not.

TVNZ said it will now recruit internally to support the new structure.
