6 4 Pūrongo-ā-tau Annual Report Māori Television Service Chairman s Review Karapinepine mai ngā iwi o te motu, mē he kapua whakapipi o runga o Kaimanawa, hei titi i te rau o te huia ki te tikitiki o Whakaata Māori, kia tuhia te reo ki te rangi, ki te whenua, ki te ngākau o te tangata. Tēnā tātou katoa. Welcome to Māori Television s Annual Report for -, documenting the Māori Television channel s eighth full financial year of bilingual broadcasting and Te Reo channel s fourth year of Māori-only programming. As the recently appointed Chairman of Māori Television, I have been pleased to observe first-hand the organisation s commitment to our mission of being an independent and successful Māori television broadcaster that contributes significantly to the revitalisation of te reo and tikanga Māori. I have also gained an appreciation of the tremendous efforts of the many, who over the period since its inception, have helped develop Māori Television into the organisation it is today. In a relatively short period Māori Television has become a valued, genuinely home-grown broadcaster that endeavours to portray a sense of our identity as New Zealanders, primarily through a Māori lens. This is a challenging objective in the current environment, but one which we gladly embrace and commit to, in acknowledgement of the excellent progress thus far and as a means of achieving our vision of becoming a world-class indigenous broadcaster. Key Developments In the financial year under review, the business plan centred on three key strategic objectives: Further enhancement of the Te Reo channel to strengthen Māori language acquisition and enhance the status of te reo. Implementation of our digital strategy to further complement our integrated Māori bi-lingual channel and full immersion Te Reo channel. The on-going enhancement of our business model to provide a secure base for the realisation of our goals. It is pleasing to note that the broadcast hours of the Te reo channel were increased in April and it is envisaged that viewers with stronger reo skills will become regular watchers of the 100 per cent full immersion channel. Good progress has also been made on Māori Television s digital strategy, with a new and improved website currently under development. In keeping pace with continuing digital developments we are working towards optimising social media to support core business activities with the aim of developing a strong Māori Television online video presence. As a fiscally prudent and efficiency-focussed organisation we have also continued to look at ways to improve and enhance business operations. Whilst it is pleasing to record another surplus for the organisation in this financial year, it must be said that the on-going need to seek partnerships and secure commercial opportunities that align with our objectives remains an ever present challenge. Rugby World Cup As the lead free-to-air broadcaster, the Rugby World Cup was a major success for Māori Television, delivering te reo and tikanga Māori to the largest audiences in our history with 2.6 million viewers watching our broadcasts in both September and October. As well as raising the status of Māori Television in the minds of many New Zealanders, our comprehensive coverage of the tournament also attracted over 560,000 new viewers. Rugby World Cup offered a unique opportunity for Māori Television to make a significant impact both nationally and internationally. Māori Language In its eight year history, Māori Television has made a positive contribution towards Māori language revitalisation by providing opportunities for individuals to gain new skills and enhance existing knowledge. This was recognised in a survey by Te Puni Kōkiri which showed that the availability of the service made 66% of respondents want to learn or improve their Māori language skills, (Impact of Māori Television on the Māori Language, ). During the Rugby World Cup, a specific Māori language strategy was developed to maximise the opportunity, both in the lead up period and during the tournament itself. This included bi-lingual broadcasts on Māori Television, 100% Māori language broadcasts on Te Reo, the development of special Māori language tutorials for broadcast during the games and viewer competitions to encourage language acquisition. An important component of this strategy was the broadcast of all games in the Māori language only on Te Reo channel, which was further complemented by all Māori language commentaries being made available to all iwi radio stations.

7 Pūrongo-ā-tau Annual Report Māori Television Service 5 Another key development for Māori language broadcasting during this period was the decision to strengthen our language revitalisation focus on the Māori channel with the introduction of daily language programming from 10.00am 3.00pm. This commences at the start of the financial year. The new five hour block of Māori language tuition programming is designed to provide extensive resources for viewers to upskill and develop their reo proficiency. This initiative is intended to provide greater accessibility to te reo Māori for all New Zealanders, including Māori language learners and non-fluent speakers. This development has been strongly supported by our key stakeholder partners and in particular provided opportunities to work more closely with Te Pūtahi Paoho (Māori Television Electoral College) to identify new and innovative ways to achieve improved Māori language acquisition outcomes. Governance On behalf of the Board I would like to pay tribute to the former Chairman Garry Muriwai who completed his term in April after almost 5 years in the role of Chairman. Garry originally joined the Board in April 2004, appointed by Te Pūtahi Paoho. Over the entire 8 years of his tenure, Garry s strong leadership and loyal support has been fundamental to Māori Television s success. On behalf of the Board, I wish Garry all the best for the future. As well as my own appointment, the Māori Television Board welcomed two other new members, Ian Taylor and Piripi Walker. Ian brings to Māori Television an extensive television background and proven entrepreneurial success, particularly in the digital area. Piripi Walker offers remarkable expertise in both iwi radio broadcasting and Māori language advocacy. I am proud to be leading a talented and dedicated board and with my fellow directors, look forward to contributing to the future success of Māori Television by providing strong governance and clear strategic direction. Looking to the future As we approach our tenth anniversary of broadcasting in March 2014, we look forward to consolidating and building on Māori Television s strong performance to date. As a publicly funded Māori language broadcaster we remain focussed on meeting our financial, legislative and broadcast commitments whilst continuing to ensure that language revitalisation remains at the heart of everything we do. Despite a challenging external environment, we are wellpositioned to continue our strong performance in the coming year through increased audience engagement, additional resourcing to improve Māori language proficiency, and further enhancements to the quality of our programming. Acknowledgements Integral to the progress of any organization are the people charged with its success. With its unique mission, Māori Television is fortunate to have a body of people who bring an impressive range of skills and experience to the task, as well as the energy, passion and creativity required to sustain the kaupapa long term. From our Kaunihera Kaumātua (Elders Council) through to our staff, management and Board, a unique contribution to Māori Television continues to be made. I acknowledge that contribution sincerely. I also acknowledge our shareholding Ministers, Hon Bill English, and Hon Pita Sharples, who together with Te Pūtahi Paoho provide the guidance and support so necessary in an ever- changing environment. Finally I express thanks to all our stakeholders, in particular the many thousands of New Zealanders and others who choose to include Māori Television programming among their viewing preferences. We like that you share our passion and optimism for television that portrays a sense of our lives in Aotearoa New Zealand, and embodies the uniqueness of te Reo and tikanga Māori. Nō reira, hei kupu whakamutunga māku kia tika, kia pono, kia aroha, kia Māori. Hon Georgina te Heuheu QSO Heamana / Chairman

10 8 Pūrongo-ā-tau Annual Report Māori Television Service Chief Executive s Report Tuia ki te rangi i runga nei, tuia ki te papa e takoto nei, tuia ki ā rātou te hunga wahangū. Tuia ki ā tātou e pāhotia nei i tō tātou reo kia pāorōrotia ki ngā tōpito o te ao. Kia whakatairangatia ki uta, ki tai, e mau ai te ahurei o te iwi Māori. Tēnā tātou katoa. The Chairman s Review summarises the key developments implemented by Māori Television over the last financial year. As an organisation we continue to benefit from the clear strategic direction set by the Board and strong support received from a range of key stakeholders, including Te Pūtahi Paoho (Māori Television Electoral College), the Responsible Ministers and our Kaunihera Kaumātua (Elders Council). All of which contributes greatly to our on-going mission of being an independent, secure and successful Māori television broadcaster that makes a significant contribution to the revitalisation of te reo and tikanga Māori. Strategy Implementation A key overarching objective is to give Māori and all other viewers compelling reasons to watch our programming. This approach is designed to improve Māori language acquisition outcomes through optimising audience growth, as increased participation and engagement levels are core components of an effective language revitalisation strategy. As noted in the Chairman s report significant progress was made in the financial year to transform Māori Television into a digital media organisation. Although traditional linear broadcasting will remain the primary service provided by Māori Television for the foreseeable future, it will progressively be further augmented by a range of digital options for our viewers to access programming content. This assessment underscores the high priority that has been given to implementing our digital strategy. Aligned with this will be the launch in the final quarter of of a range of enhanced options to view our content via social media, mobile devices, an upgraded website and a new You Tube channel. All of these viewing options will further complement our integrated bi-lingual Māori Television and full-immersion Te Reo television channels. The on-going enhancement of the Te Reo channel which included extended hours and a broader range of programme genres in, was another key objective set by the Board. The Te Reo channel is a crucial component of our language revitalisation strategy in that it gives status to te reo Māori, provides a corpus of language development resources and strengthens the acquisition of te reo through normalising its usage in a full-immersion setting. Progress was also made towards the third key strategic objective associated with enhancing the business model under which Māori Television functions. Although it has been in a static funding situation since 2008, the organisation continues to be aspirational and prepared to explore different commercial approaches. An example was the planning which commenced at the end of the financial year to eliminate infomercials and the associated commercial revenue. The infomercials were subsequently replaced with a daily 5 hour block of Māori language tuition programming which has since attracted sponsorship support comparable to the previous level of revenue associated with the infomercials. It is these types of commercial opportunities which are better aligned with the kaupapa of Māori Television that we will continue to develop. Operational Performance At the beginning of the financial year a restructure was undertaken to create a separate Production Department to reflect the growing importance of in-house produced programming content. This was necessary to enable higher volumes of content to be produced in a timely manner within tight budgetary constraints. The restructuring was successfully implemented prior to the coverage of the Rugby World Cup tournament and continues to provide opportunities for further efficiency gains. As in previous years specific focus continues to be applied to enhancing our business practices to optimise efficiency and effectiveness. As a fiscally responsible organisation it is very positive that we can report another surplus result of $775,000 against a budgeted result of $49,000 for the financial year. The Statement of Service Performance section of this report also highlights that Māori Television achieved all of its statutory performance measurements in this financial year.

11 Pūrongo-ā-tau Annual Report Māori Television Service 9 Looking Ahead The commencement of a staged digital switch over (DSO) by region through to full nationwide completion in December 2013, presents a significant opportunity for Māori Television to access a much wider audience. As a founding stakeholder in the Freeview consortium, our high placing on the electronic programme guide (EPG) means that we will be right alongside the main free-to-air broadcasters on the remote controls of viewers. This is anticipated to translate into significantly larger audiences who are able to access our wide range of unique locally produced programming. We look forward to being on the same transmission platform as the free-to-air commercial broadcasters and the level playing field options that provides. We will continue to explore and develop relevant new technologies as well as strive to improve the overall quality of our programming. Yet, at all times, we will ensure that we remain a customer-oriented organisation, delivering programmes that exceed the expectations of our viewers, whilst fulfilling our statutory obligations and inherent responsibility to the revitalisation of the Māori language and culture. Ultimately our future performance will be measured by our effectiveness as an organisation that makes a significant contribution to te reo and tikanga Māori being increasingly valued, embraced and spoken. He Tāngata, He Tāngata It is the people of any organisation who determine its success or otherwise. In that regard, Māori Television is very well placed. We have a unique spirit of commitment shared by all staff, management and board members to ensure that we as kaitiaki of this taonga, fulfil the dreams and aspirations of those who were at the forefront of the establishment of Māori Television. Accordingly, I acknowledge all members of the whānau of Māori Television for the important skills, creativity and dedication required to successfully operate a complex media organisation committed to Māori language revitalisation. In closing, I further acknowledge the special contribution made by other key stakeholders including Te Māngai Pāho and our passionate, hardworking independent production community. Finally, gratitude is extended to our viewers who connect with Māori Television and include our programming amongst the many and varied choices available to them.

We have audited: the financial statements of the Māori Television Service on pages 20 to 36, that comprise the statement of financial position as at 30 June, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date and notes to the financial statements that include accounting policies and other explanatory information; and the statement of service performance of the Māori Television Service on pages 18 to 19. Opinion In our opinion: the financial statements of the Māori Television Service on pages 20 to 36: - comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand; and - fairly reflect the Māori Television Service s: financial position as at 30 June ; and financial performance and cash flows for the year ended on that date. the statement of service performance of the Māori Television Service on pages 18 to 19: - complies with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand; and - fairly reflects, for each class of outputs for the year ended 30 June, the Māori Television Service s: service performance compared with the forecasts in the statement of forecast service performance for the financial year; and actual revenue and output expenses compared with the forecasts in the statement of forecast service performance at the start of the financial year. Our audit was completed on 18 October. This is the date at which our opinion is expressed. The basis of our opinion is explained below. In addition, we outline the responsibilities of the Board and our responsibilities, and we explain our independence. Basis of opinion We carried out our audit in accordance with the Auditor- General s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and carry out our audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and statement of service performance are free from material misstatement. Material misstatements are differences or omissions of amounts and disclosures that would affect a reader s overall understanding of the financial statements and statement of service performance. If we had found material misstatements that were not corrected, we would have referred to them in our opinion. An audit involves carrying out procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and statement of service performance. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including our assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and statement of service performance, whether

19 Pūrongo-ā-tau Annual Report Māori Television Service 17 due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the preparation of the Māori Television Service s financial statements and statement of service performance that fairly reflect the matters to which they relate. We consider internal control in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Māori Television Service s internal control. An audit also involves evaluating: the appropriateness of accounting policies used and whether they have been consistently applied; the reasonableness of the significant accounting estimates and judgements made by the Board; the adequacy of all disclosures in the financial statements and statement of service performance; and the overall presentation of the financial statements and statement of service performance. We did not examine every transaction, nor do we guarantee complete accuracy of the financial statements and statement of service performance. We have obtained all the information and explanations we have required and we believe we have obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Responsibilities of the Board The Board is responsible for preparing financial statements and a statement of service performance that: comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand; fairly reflect the Board s financial position, financial performance and cash flows; and fairly reflect its service performance. The Board is also responsible for such internal control as is determined necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements and a statement of service performance that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Board s responsibilities arise from the Māori Television Service Act Responsibilities of the Auditor We are responsible for expressing an independent opinion on the financial statements and statement of service performance and reporting that opinion to you based on our audit. Our responsibility arises from section 15 of the Public Audit Act 2001 and section 43(2) of the Māori Television Service Act Independence When carrying out the audit, we followed the independence requirements of the Auditor-General, which incorporate the independence requirements of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants.
