We wish to acknowledge with great sadness the passing of our dear friend Andrew Shaw.
Andrew contributed more than most and his legacy is imprinted throughout the New Zealand television sector through his early years in the 1970’s as a children’s show presenter, then as a director and producer, his years with TVNZ as a commissioner and member of the executive team, and more latterly, as a member of the NZ On Air Board until his resignation in November 2023.
Our staff and Board will remember Andrew for his sharp wit and articulate, thoughtful contributions to meetings. He challenged us all to make robust, well-informed decisions for the audiences of Aotearoa. His passion and dedication to the sector he loved was unwavering as was his friendship and support. We will miss him and express our sincere condolences to his family.
Moe mai rā e te rangatira i tō moenga roa, tangi aroha nā mātou.
