TVNZ 7 is a commercial-free New Zealand 24-hour news and information channel on Freeview digital television platform and on SKY Television Digital from 1 July 2009. It is produced by Television New Zealand, which received Government funding to launch two additional channels. The channel went to air just after 10am on 25 March 2008 with a looped preview reel. After a countdown which lasted at least an hour, the channel was officially launched at 12 noon on 30 March 2008 with a special "kingmaker" political debate held within the Parliament building and featuring most of the elected minor party leaders.

It features TVNZ News Now updates at the top of the hour from 6am-11pm, with a specialised rolling 10 minute bulletin 'zone' between 8am and 9am, where 6 bulletins will show in that zone. TVNZ 7 also features an hour long bulletin, TVNZ News At 8 at 8pm each night, hosted on weeknights by ONE News Tonight presenter Greg Boyed and on week-ends by Miriama Kamo.

While it was originally reported to be a 'rolling news channel', similar to Sky News and CNN Headline News, Eric Kearley, head of TVNZ's Digital Launch team, has stated about 70% of the schedule would be "factual variety" programming - a mix of local and overseas documentaries, and programmes that discuss current events and sport, with the remaining 30% being the news updates. A full schedule was released on 28 February 2008.

The channel was relaunched on 1 March 2011 taking some programming from TVNZ 6, another Freeview based digital channel, when TVNZ decided to transform into an interactive broadcast station TVNZ U. On 6th April 2011 it was officially announced that TVNZ 7 cease broadcast in June 2012 this was confirmed when Broadcasting Minister Jonathan Coleman stated on behalf of the Government that they would not extend further funding for the channel due to low ratings..
