An Al-Jazeera news presenter who got his break in journalism at TV3 has come out in support of his old colleague John Campbell.
Kamahl Santamaria posted a video message on YouTube in response to reports that Campbell Live may be cancelled.
As an "obviously starstruck" 18-year-old, Santamaria says John Campbell was the first person he met in the TV3 newsroom.
"I've never forgotten that support he gave me," says Santamaria, "which is why I'm throwing whatever support I can behind the save Campbell Live campaign".
Santamaria urges supporters to "tweet, Facebook, sign petitions, write letters, do whatever you want or whatever you can" in support of the show.
