Mediaworks TV Chief Executive Jason Paris has stepped down from his role today, a year after he started at the broadcaster.
Mr Paris moved to Mediaworks from TVNZ, where he was head of digital media and marketing. He came in as part of a new management structure set up after former Mediaworks boss Brent Impey left the helm after 10 years in charge.
MediaWorks Group Managing Director Sussan Turner said at the company’s request Jason will be working
through his notice period to ensure the smooth transition of all projects across the television business.
She will now assume, as part of her Group MD role, Head of Television responsibilities and senior television
management will report to her.
"I am very confident that we have, in our current Television Management team, the skill and
expertise required to guide MediaWorks Television’s future development and growth.
“The Board of Mediaworks want to acknowledge the contribution that Jason has made to the television
business.”
Mr Paris thought his team had a achieved a great deal in a tough commercial environment.
“The television team has achieved a huge amount in a challenging commercial environment. I
thank all of them for their hard work and support and wish them all the very best in their ongoing
endeavours.”
