Wellington — One of New Zealand’s two free-to-air television networks said on Wednesday it was proposing to close its newsroom operations, television news broadcasts and website from June 30, with the loss of up to 200 media jobs. Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns the news service Newshub that airs on television channel Three, said in a statement it needed to further reduce costs and that meant major changes including the planned shut down of the newsroom. CNN is also owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. Under New Zealand law, a proposed restructure or redundancies must be consulted on before a final decision can be announced. A final decision is expected in early April. If implemented, the closure will end 35-years of broadcast news on the network Three and will leave state-owned but editorially independent TVNZ as the dominant producer of broadcast news for the New Zealand market. “Free-to-air and news are expensive businesses to run. Put simply, the economic headwinds means the returns are not there,” said Glen Kyne, a senior vice president, at Warner Bros. Discovery in Australia and New Zealand.
