2002 TV Guide NZ Television Awards


The 2002 TV Guide NZ Television Awards were staged on Saturday 29 June 2002 in Auckland, New Zealand. Honouring excellence in New Zealand television for the previous year, the awards were sponsored by New Zealand TV Guide magazine, the final year of its eight-year period as a naming-rights sponsor of the awards. As there had been no awards in 2001, the 2002 awards also covered the 2001 awards period. The awards ceremony was not broadcast on television.
