A rally is under way outside TVNZ headquarters in Auckland as part of a campaign protesting the broadcaster's plans to axe programmes and cut jobs.
Earlier this month TVNZ announced plans to cut up to 68 jobs - and scrap several long-running shows, including Fair Go and Sunday.

The theme of the rally is 'Save Our Stories' and speakers from impacted TVNZ shows will speak to the crowd.
E tū says an open letter with over 11,000 signatures will be presented to TVNZ's chief executive and board urging them not to proceed with the cuts.
