electronic music radio station to take charge of a public
broadcaster’s classical music programme, with a view to
getting rid of it, is a small but nevetheless typical
instance of the shambles that is Labour’s broadcasting
policy under its current Minister, Kris Faafoi.

doing nothing to halt Radio New Zealand’s ill-conceived
youth music plan despite knowing about it for at least six
months, Faafoi is set to follow that meltdown with an even
bigger catastrophe merging Radio New Zealand and TVNZ
into a new media entity.
