Whakapuaki Irirangi, which operates
as Te Māngai Pāho. Te Māngai
Pāho has the primary function
of promoting Māori language
and Māori culture by making
funds available for broadcasting,

to be broadcast and archiving

Te Māngai Pāho may also make
funds available for transmitting

Te Māngai Pāho is a Crown Entity
funded by Parliament through Vote:

its conduct and performance to the
Minister of Māori Affairs.
The Board employs a Chief Executive

Te Māngai Pāho’s operations.
The core work of the agency
staff is to manage just over $50
million (GST exclusive) in funding
contracts between the agency and
various programme makers and
broadcasters.
Te Māngai Pāho meets its statutory
obligations primarily by funding
te reo Māori and tikanga Māori
programmes and music for
television and radio broadcast. To

are achieved, Te Māngai Pāho
currently:

funds 21 recognised iwi radio

Television for the production of
in-house programmes and the

of funding for the production
of independently made
Māori language programmes
commissioned for television and
