Antony "Tony" Ciprian (10 November 1932 – 13 January 2015) was a New Zealand broadcaster, best known as a television sports news presenter and producer.
Biography
Born in 1932, Ciprian spent 10 years as a police officer before joining the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation as a journalist at Gisborne radio station 2ZG.[1][2] While mainly engaged in reporting for radio, he also filed the occasional report for television.[2] In 1971 he took a six-month sabbatical from 2ZG to study radio and television news techniques in Australia.[3]
In the 1980s, Ciprian joined TVNZ as a sports news reader and reporter on the evening news bulletin, and was part of the team that covered the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh.[2] In 1989 he moved to the newly established TV3 as that channel's first sports producer, and remained in that role for the next 20 years, apart from a couple of interruptions.[4] He was a mentor to many younger reporters, including Kamahl Santamaria.[2][5]
In retirement he lived in Queensland, Australia,[2] and died at Hervey Bay in 2015.[6]
