An $8000 a day board set up to lead the merger of RNZ and TVNZ is still working and being paid, weeks after the government abandoned the project. Prime Minister Chris Hipkins scrapped the merger in February, but the board is still working on a report for any future media policy. National Party spokesperson for Broadcasting and Media Melissa Lee spoke to Guyon Espiner.
