About Us

Whitebait-TV is a modern, purpose built 2036m2 world class television production and post production facility.

Whitebait-TV is a world-class, purpose-built television production and post production facility. Opened in early 2009, it features two television studios including one of the largest in the country at 594m2 and a control room especially designed to broadcast live to national and international networks - all available for hire.

With chandelier-lined corridors, beautifully-appointed greenrooms, comprehensive production offices and fully-equipped wardrobe, makeup and art departments Whitebait-TV is geared to provide an extensive range of production and post production services including editing, audio post production and animation.

The facility is backed by Whitebait-TV's highly experienced and professional team who have worked together to produce creative and award-winning content for networks and corporates for more than a decade.

Currently on air are:

  • What Now, a 2 hour live show and New Zealand's longest running and highest rating children's programme
  • The Erin Simpson Show, a magazine-style infotainment show for teens and tweens screening weekdays
  • and Animal Academy a weekly information-based programme for and about people who love animals.

Whitebait-TV is helmed by Janine Morrell-Gunn, the powerhouse behind the business and producer of many iconic NZ TV programmes over the past 20 years, and Jason Gunn, who after 25 years on the box is one of the nation's most-recognisable and most-loved NZ television presenters.

At Whitebait TV we're committed to excellence in television-making - and we have the facilities and the talent to deliver beyond our clients' expectations.
