The Broadcasting Minister is staying tight-lipped about the future of TVNZ.

It is understood TVNZ newsroom staff are bracing for a meeting tomorrow about the future of news operations - which will include job cuts.

Minister Melissa Lee says she spoke with TVNZ bosses on Friday about how they plan to remain financially viable.

"They did not tell me that they were cutting staff on news- they were talking about programming they will have to consider."

It will come a week since 九一星空无限hub announced its closure, and when asked if she will help the industry, Lee says she doesn't have many levers.
