TVNZ is planning to cut 50 roles from its 600-strong workforce, according to a leaked email today from chief executive Jodi O’Donnell . In a message to TVNZ staff this afternoon, O’Donnell said the state broadcaster was proposing to disestablish 90.5 roles and introduce 41 new roles for a net loss of 49.

5 jobs. It comes as many staff received emails this morning, inviting them to meetings tomorrow to hear their fate, as TVNZ strives to find $30 million through either cost savings or revenue-raising ideas this financial year. “The emails came at different times of the morning from line managers,” one source told Media Insider.
