Curtis committee provided the push
The impetus for the network scheme was provided by the report on Maori broadcasting for the Maori Economic Development Commission.
The committee that prepared the report was chaired by the Hato Petera principal Toby Curtis.
Its job was to prepare a five year development plan for Maori broadcasting that would embrace television and radio.
That report, presented to Koro Wfetere in June 1985, took a strong line in pushing for action and equity in radio and television.
And Toby Curtis has kept up the pressure this year to see that there’s some response to the recommendations.
The committee was: Toby Curtis (chairman), Donna Awatere, Graham Edwin, Derek Fox, Ernie Leonard, Merata Mita, Don Selwyn, Henare Te Ua and Haare Williams.
Ripeka Evans provided the liaison with the Maori Economic Development Commission.
