There are questions over whether TVNZ cut too many jobs as it turns a surprisingly strong profit.
The broadcaster's reported an after-tax profit of nearly $26million dollars - after an $85million dollar loss last year.
But it comes after the broadcaster cut jobs - including canning production of programmes like Fair Go, Sunday and the midday and night-time news bulletins.

She says the company had to make decisions to ensure the business remained sustainable into the future.
