- This extra funding is not guaranteed beyond the next 5 years.
- TVNZ7 closed down because its funding wasn’t guaranteed beyond 2012.

- KPMG report
- $11.4 million over 4 years which works out to be just $2.85 million extra per year and it is for technology. The KPMG report that RNZ commissioned into the state of their finances ten years ago showed that they needed between 6 and 7 million extra per year then. Now it should be an extra $14.96 million per year. So they have a $12.11 million per year funding shortfall at the moment.
