Te Karere is a news and current affairs show that was New Zealand's first Māori language television programme.[1] Te Karere is broadcast on Television New Zealand's TVNZ 1 at 3:55 pm on weekdays and repeated 1:05 am and 5:35 am the following day. The focus of the programme is content which is of national significance to the targeted Māori audience.

The programme is funded in its entirety by Te Māngai Pāho.

History

Te Karere first went to air during Māori Language Week, with a two minute bulletin celebrating the week in 1982. The original presenters and producers were Derek Fox and Whai Ngata.[2][3][4]

The following year, Te Karere got a regular slot of four minutes.[2] With a modest, shoestring budget, Fox and Ngata produced a professional news show. The show was originally broadcast on TV2, but as that channel had poor coverage on the East Coast, with its large Māori population, Te Karere was moved to TV1.[5]

The show later expanded to 15, and then to 30 minutes in 2009.[2]
