Tv3 banned from Kapa Haka festival
Te Matatini Incorporated Society has banned Mediaworks TV3 from using vision from the Te Matatini National Kapa Haka Festival 2013 for Friday (22.2.13) after its primetime 6pm news bulletin breached clear news access guidelines.
Te Matatini managing director Darrin Apanui said he was very disappointed with TV3’s actions, which breached an agreement between Te Matatini and host broadcaster Maori Television.
Mr Apanui wanted to send a strong message to all broadcasters who wish to access vision from Maori Television’s broadcast that any breach would be “unacceptable.” TV3 broadcast 26 seconds of vision of a performance on stage yesterday before it was allowed to.
The ban will take place from 8.30am today to 8.30am tomorrow.
