Ian Cross trained as a journalist. His 1957 novel The God Boy has been hailed as a classic (and similar status afforded to the 1976 television adaptation). As Listener editor he doubled its circulation and reinvigorated its writing staff. As broadcasting chair and chief executive he had a turbulent relationship with the Muldoon government - and failed to stem what he saw as the over-commercialisation of television.
I melded South Pacific TV and TV One together and that caused a lot of angst, but I was convinced of the need to do it. Looking back I created a Frankenstein’s monster. Television is the most pervasive and democratic medium in any country. Every western country has a non-commercial television service. We haven’t.
– Ian Cross, in New Zealand Herald
