NZ On Air 30th Birthday - Country Calendar

Web (Full Length) – 2019

From its impressive cinematography, to its broad range of stories and characters, Country Calendar reflects the backbone of New Zealand culture. The country's longest-running television show still tops the NZ On Air Top 10 most weeks. TV producer Jon Bridges, Governor-General Patsy Reddy and broadcasting minister Kris Faafoi are among those reflecting on the show’s importance, in this video celebrating NZ On Air's 30th birthday. TVNZ executive Andrew Shaw provides 'The Inside Story', and muses on how the show really belongs to all New Zealanders.

I'm terribly proud that we are still able to be the broadcaster that can exhibit Country Calendar. In terms of ownership, New Zealand owns it. We rent it.
– TVNZ executive Andrew Shaw, on the enduring legacy of Country Calendar
