NZME CEO Michael Boggs announced a $6.6 million profit for the first half of the year, a significant improvement from a $400,000 loss in the same period last year. Boggs revealed plans to pursue new agreements with major technology and artificial intelligence companies within the next six months, seeking to leverage AI for content creation and distribution. This ambition comes as NZME faces scrutiny from a shareholder, details of which were not disclosed. The company’s positive financial results were shared during an investor call on Tuesday. Boggs’ strategy signals a proactive approach to navigating the changing media landscape. The focus on AI suggests NZME is aiming to adapt and capitalise on emerging technologies. These new deals could significantly impact the company's future revenue streams and content offerings.
