Mixed-platform
Te Māngai Pāho provides contestable, mixed-platform funding for producers and creators to create a diverse range of Māori content.
Mixed-platform is our way of describing the wide variety of content we fund across linear television, online and digital platforms, web series and apps. Previously described as ‘diverse content’, all mixed-platform initiatives support Māori language and culture outcomes.
This also means we fund based on language content, rather than platform: we call this ‘platform agnostic’. Our two language categories are receptive and fluent.
Receptive Content
$11.56mil
The receptive funding band is for content with between 30% – 70% te reo Māori language.
Fluent Content
$17.34mil
The fluent content band is for content with 70% or more te reo Māori language.
The majority of Te Māngai Pāho funding is contestable, mixed-platform funding, and is available to producers and creators to create a diverse range of Māori content, such as Tamariki & Rangatahi, NZ on Air Co-Fund, General Audience, News & Current Affairs, and Innovation.
Tamariki & Rangatahi
This contestable fund seeks to support the creation of content for tamariki and rangatahi audiences that engages the target audience on multiple platforms: including but not limited to; linear television; OnDemand; and online viewing.
