As members of the World Indigenous Television Broadcast Network (WITBN), Maori Television and NITV enjoy a strong collaborative relationship. NITV channel manager Tanya Denning says: “We’ve really felt the spirit of support from the indigenous broadcasting community, and in particular Maori Television.”
