After just over a year in the job, Simon Power has resigned as chief executive of TVNZ.
The former National Party MP and minister joined the broadcaster in March last year.
He faced several challenges such as a review into TVNZ's hiring process following a dramatic saga with Breakfast host Kamahl Santamaria, and a proposed merger with RNZ, before that idea was shelved.
Power declined our interview request, but former head of TVNZ news Bill Ralston spoke to Guyon Espiner.
