Radio New Zealand has withdrawn a proposal to cut jobs and restructure RNZ Concert.
The backlash was severe - a petition of 26-thousand signatures was presented to RNZ this afternoon.
One of the first concerned voices on Twitter was Helen Clark, former Prime Minister and Minister for Arts and Culture.
She speaks with Karyn before heading into a meeting in Oslo, Norway.
