TNVZ names Tova O’Brien as new Breakfast co-host
O’Brien replaces Jenny-May Clarkson who left the morning news show last month, and joins Chris Chang as host beginning in 2026.
TVNZ executive editor - news and current affairs Phil O’Sullivan said O’Brien brought a wealth of broadcast experience across television and radio.
“She’s delivered numerous high-profile interviews with global figures and provided live, breaking news coverage from across Aotearoa and further afield. She’s sharp, energetic and trusted.
“Best of all, she understands morning audiences inside out.”
Broadcaster O’Brien is currently Stuff’s chief political correspondent and previously worked for Newshub and the now-defunct Today FM. Today FM ceased broadcasting on March 30, 2023, after O’Brien interrupted the mid-morning Duncan Garner Today on air to announce the station’s closure, saying “They have f....d us.”
O’Brien is one of many presenter changes announced in recent months by TVNZ. Melissa Stokes was revealed as the new 1News at Six presenter, with Simon Dallow stepping down.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
