A mapped-out shake-up of television and screen production legislation is garnering overwhelming support.  

The Ministry for Culture and Heritage has laid out five proposals to combat declining viewership and ad revenue in light of the global shift to streaming.  

Merging the Film Commission with NZ on Air and requiring offshore platforms to invest in more local content are among the suggestions.  

South Pacific Pictures Managing Director Andrew Szusterman told Mike Hosking the recommendations are on the money.  

He says there's been consultation with the industry and the proposals being put forward are pretty good.
