Fair Go features a mixture of investigative journalism and consumer affairs stories, based on the motto: "If you've been ripped off, short-changed or given the runaround and nobody wants to know...we do!"
Fair Go also held the annual Fair Go Ad Awards, in which the best and worst advertisements on New Zealand television are announced, and a competition to find the best 30-second video by New Zealand students is held.
Current reporters for the show, along with the two hosts, are Alistar Kata, Kaitlin Ruddock, Gill Higgins and Garth Bray.
Kevin Milne ONZM had worked on Fair Go from 1984 until 2010.
