The awards were held on Saturday 3 November at The Great Room of the Langham hotel in Auckland, New Zealand, with highlights screening on TV ONE on Sunday 4 November. The New Zealand Television Awards took a similar format to the previous Qantas Television Awards, honouring excellence in New Zealand television and television journalism.[1][2] This was the final New Zealand television awards presentation organised by Think TV, after Television New Zealand withdrew its support in 2013.[3]
