TVNZ boss Kevin Kenrick earned $120,000 more this year than he did in 2018.

TVNZ's annual report for 2019, released today, reveals the state broadcaster earned $1.55 million in the 2019 financial year.

This was up from $1.43 million in 2018.

Kenrick's total remuneration package could be more than the state broadcaster's entire profit for the year.

While his fixed remuneration dropped from $901,000 to $890,000, his short-term performance incentive rose from $460,000 to $585,000 year on year.

According to the TVNZ annual report, the company has a total of 250 staff earning over $100,00 per annum.

Kenrick is, however, the highest earner by some stretch.

For the 2019 financial year, TVNZ posted a net profit after tax of $2.9 million, above the $2.5 million target which had been set for Kenrick and the team.

Will people go ballistic as they did over female presenters' salaries?

TVNZ does the worst job on TV apart from maybe CNN. Why people like TVNZ channels I cannot discern.
