Warner Bros Discovery New Zealand boss Juliet Peterson said: “We understand that [in] every NZ on Air funding round, scores of applications are considered and not all can be accepted.
“We are disappointed to see Paddy Gower Has Issues has not been funded this round.
“We believe in Paddy, and his commitment to stellar journalism and the stories that matter to New Zealanders, and along with the rest of the country, will look forward to seeing him back on screens in the future.”
Just what that future is remains unclear, with WBD already signalling it won’t back local shows, unless it has a third party funding almost the full cost of production.
NZ on Air has been approached for comment.
