MĀORI TELEVISION REVISTS SPECIAL 2008 ANZAC BROADCAST
Highlights of Māori Television’s marathon ANZAC Day broadcast earlier this year will be revisited in three, one-hour specials – THE BEST OF ANZAC DAY 2008: Ā TĀTOU TAONGA – screening every Wednesday at 8.30 PM from July 2.
For the third year in a row, New Zealand’s national indigenous broadcaster devoted its entire 18-hour schedule in April to coverage of key ANZAC memorial ceremonies at home and overseas as well as veteran interviews, documentary premieres, studio discussions and speeches, short films, special stories and songs.
Viewer feedback was overwhelmingly positive. According to a media consultant from Paekakariki: “This was television at its best – interesting, moving, fun, diverse and always courteous”. Another viewer said: “We had your channel on our TV all day and the mix of live in studio discussions, coverage from ANZAC parades across NZ, old war movies and live feeds from the Sydney parade was simply fantastic”.
Presented by Wena Harawira, Julian Wilcox and Judy Bailey, the specials are:
