NZ On Air has announced that the media affairs programme Media 7 will be moving to TV3 from the soon-to-shut TVNZ 7.
Media 3, as the show will now be called, will move to TV3 on Saturday mornings in August.
The programme premiered on the commercial-free TVNZ 7 network, which is ceasing broadcast on June 30.
"This is a validation of what we've done these past five years," host Russell Brown wrote on his Hard News blog.
Media 7 examines issues in New Zealand print, television, radio and other media each week. NZ One Air provides funding support for the show.
"We are thrilled to support this excellent programme," NZ On Air Chief Executive Jane Wrightson said in a statement. "Host Russell Brown and the team already enjoy a dedicated following and we are delighted that TV3 has chosen to extend their schedules even further by adding this series."
