Raised by a Malaysian-Chinese father and Pākehā mother, journalist and presenter Chris Chang largely grew up in Wellington, but also spent six years living in Asia as a child. After studying English and Law at Victoria University, and gaining a post-graduate journalism degree at Auckland University of Technology, Chang soon became an intern at Television New Zealand where he has been ever since. An avid sports fan, Chang has largely worked as a sports reporter for One News, and has also supported Breakfast as a producer, weather reporter and fill-in presenter. Chang joined the core Breakfast presenter team in early 2023.

“You’ve got to be up for it, you’ve got to be excited about it — otherwise what’s the point? It’s news — you don’t know what’s going to happen, and that’s what I love about it.”
