TVNZ has appointed Jack Tame as weekend presenter of 1News at Six, joining weekday anchor Melissa Stokes.
Since joining TVNZ as a 19-year-old reporter in 2006, Tame has built a career spanning nearly two decades.
During his five years as TVNZ’s US Correspondent in New York, he covered major global events, including two presidential elections, the Olympics, hurricanes and the Sandy Hook shooting tragedy. He later co-hosted Breakfast and has hosted Q+A, TVNZ’s flagship political programme, since 2019.
As TVNZ enters a hotly contested election year, Tame will continue to host Q+A alongside 1News at Six weekends, delivering political analysis and interviews.
A team that serves audiences well
Nadia Tolich, TVNZ’s chief news and content officer, says: “Jack is one of New Zealand’s most accomplished broadcasters and interviewers.
“He’s a two-time best presenter winner at the NZ Screen Awards and was named Political Reporter of the Year at last year’s Voyagers.
“We’re delighted to have him join the 1News at Six presenting team. His experience across news, current affairs and live reporting brings enormous depth to our coverage.
“With Melissa leading weekdays and Jack on weekends, 1News at Six has an exceptionally strong team in place – one that will serve our audience well.”
