The Government will provide $512,000 for a satellite service to South Pacific television broadcasters, Broadcasting Minister Steve Maharey and Foreign Affairs Minister Phil Goff said today.
The service includes One News satellite broadcasts to the Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa and Tonga, as well a weekly half-hour programme of Tagata Pasifika.
"Funding of the news service will help strengthen the important linkages between New Zealand and Pacific Island communities," Mr Maharey said.
