TVNZ chief executive Rick Ellis said today that while Mr Henry is a “provocative” host, his recent comments “crossed the line”.
"I have met with Paul and told him that while his apologies were the right thing to do and that I believe he is sincere in his regret, I still consider his remarks unacceptable for any employee of TVNZ to make.
"We give Paul a lot of freedom with the Breakfast programme and he does a magnificent job. But as we have said before, with that freedom comes responsibility.”
Mr Ellis has suspended Mr Henry until October 18, without pay and effective immediately.
The TVNZ boss said he would also be apologising personally to Sir Anand and his family.
