The Ministry funds TVNZ to provide the digital channels (U and TVNZ7) and monitors this activity on behalf of the Minister of Broadcasting. Funding is also provided to maintain television transmission coverage in less commercially viable parts of New Zealand and undertake transmission to the Pacific Islands to support New Zealand interests in regard to the Pacific.
