New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Luxon will no longer conduct weekly interviews on TVNZ's high-profile *Breakfast* program, opting for ad hoc appearances instead, effective April 24. This change comes as the broadcaster faces significant user frustration with a recent "buggy" update to its TVNZ+ streaming app, which some viewers described as disastrous on April 24. On April 23, TVNZ acknowledged the public relations issues arising from multiple bugs on its updated digital platform. The company began rolling out this new version of TVNZ+ on April 21, an upgrade designed to enhance the viewing experience, expand advertising opportunities with new formats and deeper targeting, and improve personalization. Developed in partnership with Quickplay, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Evergent, the platform is central to TVNZ's broader strategy for product innovation. Earlier on April 21, an AUT Trust in Media survey indicated that many New Zealanders on the political right express distrust towards news organizations including TVNZ.
