Here’s a schedule of a typical week’s programming on MTV in 1998 - just years before 16 and Pregnant, Catfish: The TV Show, Geordie Shore, Siesta Key, Teen Mom etc!

In mid-1997 TVNZ had confirmed that it would close Horizon Pacific Television (HPTV) after two years of operation and that MTV (Music Television), the largest television network in the world, would beam into New Zealand homes from 2 July that year. The announcement came after TVNZ announced the appointment of the late Neil Roberts, who died of cancer on 8 November 1998, to the role of Director of Television.

The New Zealand version of MTV took over from HPTV and began transmission on the evening of Wednesday 2 July 1997 at 5pm. In fact, it consisted of the MTV UK feed with the insertion of localised commercial advertising, designed specifically for the New Zealand audience, as well as local productions, up until its closure (see below), like:

• Havoc: Mikey Havoc and Newsboy (Jeremy Wells) present a youth orientated series, including music videos, interviews, live studio performances, comedy and information in a magazine-style format
• Mai Time: A bilingual teen orientated show that looks at music, fashion, entertainment and sport; repeated from TV2 (now TVNZ 2)
• Squeeze: Francesca Rudkin presents a 100% New Zealand music video show featuring exclusively New Zealand clips
• Startrax NZ: New Zealand personalities pick and play their music video favourites
• Toast: Mikey Havoc spreads a little happiness with a hand-picked selection of archive video clips that showcase the finer moments of the video film-makers art
• Video Hits: A chart-oriented music show; repeated from TV2 (now TVNZ 2)
• Wrekognize: A New Zealand hip-hop music show with DLT and DJ Sir-Vere

“MTV is coming and it’s about to change the face of television for the youth of New Zealand. MTV is dedicated to the youth market, talking in their language about issues that interest them. It laser targets young people - 15-29s and those with a young attitude - an audience which according to our research, seriously needs attention. MTV will give this audience what it wants. MTV is cutting edge television which will expose young Kiwis to a new global experience.” - Neil Roberts

MTV was the biggest TV network in the world at the time, reaching 281 million households in 79 territories on every continent except Antarctica.

“One in every four households in the world receives MTV, and I’m proud to announce that New Zealand is about to join this global audience. It’s also worth noting that we are the only country in the world who is providing this 24-hour service free-to-air.” - Neil Roberts

Roberts described MTV as more than just music videos: “MTV is the complete youth entertainment channel. We will be bringing Kiwis the hottest, newest MTV service available - MTV UK - coming right from the heart of the latest and greatest music and entertainment scene. Within weeks you’ll be seeing local shows on MTV in New Zealand. These shows will provide the most powerful platform for launching local music and youth culture ever seen in this country. New Zealand music won’t be marginalised. It will be heard and seen in prime-time from one end of the country to the other.”

MTV’s programming philosophy was best described by New Zealand-born Brent Hansen, President and Creative Director of MTV Networks Europe (now Paramount Networks Europe, Middle East, Africa & Asia) at the time.

“MTV produces programming for a vast, diverse and discerning audience of young, style-conscious music lovers. This has to be done in response to the ever-advancing flux of popular tastes and popular music culture. We have to stay constantly aware of what our viewers are into - always out there, always on the edge. The UK is certainly a very hip place to be at the moment with the most creative and widespread styles of music. I think the choice of TVNZ to pick the UK service is perfect for this moment. There’s a lot of great creativity happening here in the UK and I think it will be very enjoyable and interesting for people in New Zealand to get a sense of this.” - Brent Hansen

TVNZ’s licensing deal to broadcast MTV came to an end and the service was discontinued on Sunday 7 June 1998. Some of its programmes (as listed above) were transferred to TV2 (now TVNZ 2) which received exposure to significantly larger audiences due to its nationwide coverage.

MTV returned to New Zealand TV screens in 2006 as a pay television channel through the Sky platform. It is available on Sky channel 15 and there are two additional channels, MTV Hits (channel 22) and MTV 80s (channel 123).

This Week’s TV: 16-22 April 2005

[Michael_S]

Is there any listings confirming the existence of a Maori Wombles dub? I swear I remember it airing sometime in the mid 2000’s.

[PaddyTePou]

Some public libraries in New Zealand have older issues of the NZ Listener. The 1997 remake of an iconic 70s favourite, The Wombles, was dubbed in te reo Māori and broadcast on Māori TV in 2004… I think.

[Sheldon_Betteridge]

The Young and The Restless and Days of Our Lives was shown on TV2 couple years ago but they are back on TV One, but I was surprised the Louis Theroux doco we’re shown on Prime before SKY pucharsed it as it thought it was a Past TV One thing

[Michael_S]

That must be what I remember. It makes sense that it was the 1997 version.

To mark the 75th anniversary of the landing, a New Zealand/Australia dawn service was broadcast live from Gallipoli on TV One (now TVNZ 1) at 2pm on the afternoon of Anzac Day 1990. The live telecast was a co-production between TVNZ and the ABC. The late Sir Paul Reeves (Governor-General of New Zealand at the time) and the late Bob Hawke (Australian Prime Minister at the time) attended.

They shall grow not old,
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them.

A controversial Frontline documentary called “For the Public Good” was broadcast on TV One (now TVNZ 1) at 6.30pm on the evening of Sunday 29 April 1990; it explored the relationship between business and the Labour Government.

The screening of the documentary led to a complaint from the New Zealand Business Roundtable and Treasury and an order for TVNZ to broadcast a correction and apology and to refrain from broadcasting programmes with commercial advertising breaks via TV One from 6pm until closedown on the evening of Sunday 3 February 1991.

Meanwhile, TVNZ launched a two-hour Sunday morning package called Marae; it screened on Channel 2 (now TVNZ 2) from 10am-noon. It provided a forum for Māori and Pacific Island programming, of interest to all New Zealanders, during 1990.

Each edition of Marae began with the archival documentary series Waka Huia at 10.05am and the Pacific news magazine Tagata Pasifika at around 11.05am. Panui (“The Word”), a media commentary segment, followed at around 11.28am and the last 25 minutes, from 11.35am, would be devoted to other programmes from TVNZ’s Māori department:

• Pounamu, a docudrama series on seven leaders of Māoridom;
• Whakairo, a seven-part series which examined both contemporary and traditional Māori art;
• When the Haka Became Boogie, a seven-part series on Māori entertainers, musicians and artists;
• Revival, another opportunity to see past Koha programmes (i.e. Koha ran on TVNZ from 1980 until it ended in 1989); and
• highlights from the 1990 National Aotearoa Cultural Festival at Waitangi.
