TVNZ's teletext service will be winding up next year, after operating for nearly 30 years.
TVNZ today announced the closure, citing obsolete teletext technology and the widespread use of the internet as the reasons for it ending.
"Over the last few years, the information services carried on the Teletext magazine have been overshadowed by the explosion of information available on the internet," TVNZ chief executive Kevin Kenrick said.
Mr Kenrick said TVNZ had hung onto the service for as long as it could for the sake of a relatively small number of regular users.
Teletext services had been closing around the world for some time, he said.
