Those are the familiar sounds of TVNZ current affairs show Sunday, the long-running consumer affairs show Fair Go, the midday news and 1News Tonight which RNZ understands are all on the chopping block.

The state broadcaster announced on Thursday it would need to get rid of almost 70 jobs to bring costs more in line with its revenue.

On Friday morning various parts of the business have been hauled into meetings to learn their fates.

Co-Founder of Newsroom and Media Commentator Tim Murphy spoke to Charlotte Cook.
