9:05 Mediawatch
Mediawatch looks at how new technology is not only undermining the traditional business model of modern media - but also the way that journalists work. Overseas and here at home, more and more of them are losing their jobs as media companies try to cut their costs. So what's the future for those who remain - and those coming into the trade?
Produced and presented by Colin Peacock and Jeremy Rose.

On 26 July, 1928, Tom Heeney entered the ring at New York's Yankee Stadium, in front of 46,000 spectators, wearing a Maori cloak. Guaranteed $100,000, he was about to fight world heavyweight champion Gene Tunney. In his hometown of Gisborne, crowds cheered him on.

10:06 The Sunday Group: High Country Tenure Review.
The South Island high country - it's beautiful and harsh and strikes at the heart of many New Zealanders. It's been owned by the Crown for generations - and many high country runs have been managed by generations of the same farming families. The tenure review is shaking things up. But who is benefiting? And who is losing out? Chris Laidlaw chairs a panel that includes: Land Information Minister David Parker; Doctor Ann Brower from Lincoln University; Don Aubrey, the charman of Federated Farmers' high country committee; and Forest and Bird advocacy manager Kevin Hackwell.
Produced by Christine Cessford
