Television awards the last by Feltex
PA Wellington The last Feltex New Zealand Television Awards ceremony was held in Wellington last evening. In announcing the firm’s withdrawal from the awards, the managing director, Mr Peter Stanes, said “We have been reviewing our sponsorship activities, at the same time as negotiations with the Guild of Film and Television Arts have been occurring.
“We have not been able to reach agreement with the guild for a combined film and television awards in 1986, and so have decided to relinquish our sponsorship rights for the awards.” Feltex has been sponsor of the Television Awards, in conjunction with the Television Producers and Directors Association, the Broadcasting Corporation and Television New Zealand, since 1969, and last evening’s ceremony in Wellington was the sixteenth presentation. Mr Stanes said Feltex was not considering any other big sponsorship to replace the Television Awards.
