Sports Presenter Tony Veitch has agreed to step down from his role with TVNZ while media allegations are considered by the broadcaster.
Head of News & Current Affairs Anthony Flannery said that Veitch would step down while a review was conducted into the allegations made against him by some media organisations.
Flannery said there were complex issues, particularly the privacy of others, to consider.
He said because of the nature of the matter it was inappropriate to make further comment.
Veitch also hosts a breakfast radio show on Radio Sport. From Wednesday onwards, he will be off air for the rest of the week.
The Radio Network's General Manager of Talk Bill Francis says Veitch will be on leave to focus on legal discussions.
