“Their targeted strategy to attract the desirable 25-54 year old audience is working with Channel 3 is now the number one TV channel for this audience across peak viewing, overtaking TVNZ1 and TVNZ2; and radio represents the top 6 music stations by share for 25-54 year olds.

“This is a positive result in a challenged and disrupted media landscape. Our focus now remains on successfully completing the merger and realising the full growth and potential that the combined capabilities will deliver for the group.”
