NZ on Air funded programmes taxing your wallet and your eyeballs

Over the coming year NZ on Air plans to spend $37.7 million on factual programmes and $46.4 on dramas and eventually most of the resulting content will find its way to the on-demand services of the country's broadcasters and media media companies. And the public - which has forked out for all that content - will then be forced to sit through interminable adverts if the want to watch it - it could be said to be a form of double taxation.
