Te Kāea was [[News presenter|anchored]] by Piripi Taylor.

It was created as an alternative to existing news programmes on national television, delivering news in a uniquely Māori perspective, in opposition to [[Te Karere]], which was more mainstream. None of its reporters (a team of eight) at launch worked in mainstream media before, but have had a significant experience in Māori and had good Māori language skills. The weather segment, as well as including temperatures, also included times for fishing and gardening. The launch edition on 28 March 2004, was aired exceptionally at 8pm, for one hour.<ref>{{cite web |title=Maori TV promises news from a different angle |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/maori-tv-promises-news-from-a-different-angle/UP3FYL4W3HHKRKSX2JWK7NJDTQ/ |access-date=6 June 2024 |website=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=2004 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20240606150649/https://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/maori-tv-promises-news-from-a-different-angle/UP3FYL4W3HHKRKSX2JWK7NJDTQ/ |archive-date=6 June 2024}}</ref>
