Mapuna looks back at 20 years of Whakaata Maori with CEO, Shane Taurima, and Ngatapa Black who was a young production assistant back in 2004 who then went on to do "a gazillion" different jobs at the station. Nowadays Whakaata Maori is an established and popular part of Aotearoa's media landscape and on March 28 it will celebrate 20 years since its launch.
