New Zealand lifted Sunday and holiday ad bans to boost local broadcasters’ revenue.
New Zealand repealed long-standing bans on broadcast advertising on Sundays, Christmas Day, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday with the passage of the Broadcasting (Repeal of Advertising Restrictions) Amendment Bill on October 9, 2025.
The change, supported by both government and opposition parties, aims to level the playing field for local broadcasters against digital platforms by allowing them to generate an estimated $6 million annually in additional ad revenue.
The move is seen as a modest step toward stabilizing the struggling media sector, though critics note delays in action despite major job losses at outlets like Newshub and TVNZ since 2024.
