Waka Huia - Te Karere 40 years

Kua eke a Te Karere, te hōtaka reo Māori tuatahi I te pouaka whakaata, ki tōna whā tekau tau. I whakarewa a Te Karere i te tau kotahi mano waru tekau mā rua, e rua meneti noa iho te roanga atu. Whai muri atu I tēnā ka whakarewahia ōkawatia taua hōtaka ki te Reo Tātaki. Hei whakamaumaharatanga I tōna orokohanga tae noa ki tēnei wā.
Te Karere, Aotearoa’s first Māori language news service on television, has reached a huge milestone of 40 years on air. Te Karere first hit the airwaves in 1982 with just a two minute bulletin before becoming a permanent fixture on TVNZ the following year. We take a look back at how it all began and it's evolution to what it is today.
