Yesterday Jack Tame interviewed Broadcasting Minister Willie Jackson on the merger of TVNZ and RNZ.
The new entity – an “autonomous Crown entity” – will have less independence than the individual entities do in their current forms.
Tame questioned whether the merger is a waste of time and money, especially if Kiwis don’t trust the new entity.

Minister Jackson claims the submitters want it:
One informal poll suggests the taxpayers don’t.
One flustered minister.
The full interview.
Discuss it on The BFD.
