NHNZ was founded 47 years ago as the Natural History Unit of Television New Zealand but spent most of its life owned by Fox Studios.  Four years ago, the company was bought by Dame Julie Christie who was the founder of international entertainment format producer Touchdown Productions. Julie was made a Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2017 for Services to Governance and Television.
