Labour's broadcasting spokesman says the Government cannot afford not to help Newshub.
Media Minister Melissa Lee is facing growing questions about how she'll support the embattled industry, with Newshub closing in July.
Labour's Willie Jackson says turning to New Zealand On Air could be a stop-gap solution.
He says the Government could mediate with other parties on supporting the station- and that propping up the business would cost about $35 million.
"It has such an iconic history- that you don't just give up. It's about talking with business interest."
