Greenstone TV is a television and film production company based in Auckland, New Zealand.

Greenstone TV was founded in 1994 by John Harris, a former journalist, producer and director with Communicado and TVNZ.

After a decade as a newspaper journalist, John joined TVNZ in 1974, where he worked for 12 years as reporter, presenter, chief reporter, director, producer and trainer. At Communicado the shows he produced included That’s Fairly Interesting and Heroes.

Greenstone TV is regularly commissioned to make programmes for all New Zealand channels - TVONE and TV2, TV3 (New Zealand), Prime Television New Zealand, and Maori Television – and is also making shows for Australian channels.

In November 2010, Greenstone TV announced its purchase of its local competitor, production company Cream Media.^[1] Cream Media's Executive Producer, Nigel Snowden, [a former Greenstone employee] will return to Greenstone TV as Head of Development.

In June 2011, CBC's QTV YouTube channel was suspended because of "multiple third-party notifications of copyright infringement from claimants" by Greenstone TV. The claims weren't specified, nor were the obscure New Zealand production company's connection to the Canadian radio show.
