DTV New Zealand

I see a future where television and radio networks will end up using AI image generators for their logos.

Don’t promote that

PRESS RELEASE

DSTV is pleased to announce it will be airing the 70s cult cop show Rogue Justice on Friday nights at 8:30pm.

The classic series ran for four seasons from 1975-1978 and is still considered one of the best cop shows of the decade.

Steve Johnson (left) plays Stefan Burkowsky, a by-the-book cop who takes pride in everything he does and ensures criminals get what’s coming to them.

Jeff Brooks plays Ray Davies, who is the polar opposide of Stefan. He is a hard drinker and womanizer who deals justice his way and often butts heads with Burkowsky.

But, in the end, they’re able to put their differences aside as for them it’s all about ensuring justice is delivered no matter how it’s done.

Unfortunately, in January, Johnson died from cancer and Brooks paid tribute to his co-star in an emotional video posted on You Tube.

Rogue Justice is a Stephen J. Cannell Produciton for America’s NBC Television Network.

Here is the full theme to the show and this was created in Udio with a paid subscription.

In real life, Rogue Justice, as a classic cop show from the 70s, is fictional and does not exist.

As I’m back on Facebook and I noticed it has AI I decided to try a prompt with words as it’s always been tough to do with many of the generators out there.

This is the best one I came up with that I liked.

Look familiar?

Did this with Google’s Nano Banana.

DSTV Becomes DTV

PRESS RELEASE

DSTV, as of New Year’s Day 2026, became DTV.

This was instigated by the CEO and founder, with a Board of Directors meeting on October 17th and after a lengthy two hour meeting and a shareholder vote three days later the change was confirmed.

CEO and founder Damien Service issued the following statement yesterday.

“The change from DSTV to DTV is going to change how we formerly operated and in 2026 we will bring top notch programming from Australia, the UK and the US.

Additionally, we are in the process of acquiring the entire Thames and London Weekend Television library and this will be part of our UK Classics Channel.

The scheduled debut of this channel is set to be around Feb 1 and in the coming days we will be revealing the lineup for the channel.

We are also going to be looking at in-house productions with more to be announced in the coming days.”

I’m still trying to think how to do this one as a video with channel logo.

Hi @Damo - nice rebrand (though it is only a mock)!

My dream New Zealand-based television network, PTV Network New Zealand (Patrick Te Pou Broadcasting Limited), currently comprises 12 linear channels (see below):

  • PTV (Flagship - AP 25-54)
  • PTV Shake (General entertainment - AP 18-39)
  • PTV Shake 2 (Gen ent/supplementary channel - AP 18-39)
  • PTV Gold (General entertainment - AP 55+ [primary] & AP 40-64 [secondary])
  • PTV Gold 2 (Gen ent/supplementary channel - AP 55+ [primary] & AP 40-64 [secondary])
  • PTV Nitro (Male-skewed entertainment and sport - males 25-54)
  • PTV Nitro 2 (Male-skewed ent and sport/supplementary channel - males 25-54)
  • PTV Peach (Female-skewed entertainment - females 25-54)
  • PTV Peach 2 (Female-skewed ent/supplementary channel - females 25-54)
  • PTV Breeze (Lifestyle television - HHS 25-54)
  • PTV 13 (‘Premium’ general entertainment - AP 25-54)
  • PTV Rewind (Classic TV - AP 35+)

The network’s linear television channels are complemented with the following digital platforms:

  • PTV+ (a free, ad-supported streaming platform)
  • PTV+ Premium (a paid subscription service and ad-free version of PTV+ with the best of Disney+ and HBO Max)
  • PTV Sport+ (a paid subscription service with a focus on live and on-demand sporting action, as well as the best of Sky Sport Now [in real life]; this service is integrated into PTV+).
  • PTV+ Kids (a child-friendly version of PTV+ as a streaming platform)

Although this is off-topic, I want to wish you all the best for the name change to DTV (including any new linear channels and digital platforms).

PRESS RELEASE

DTV is pleased to announce it has secured the rights to the reboot of Space: 1999 and it will be the first network anywhere in the world to air the show.

It will screen on TWO on Monday nights at a time still to be determined.

The series will loosely follow that of it’s predecessor which aired between 1975-1977 and starred Martin Landau and Barbara Bain.

Peace Aid, an 18 hour concert for peace, will air on June 13 on DTV TWO from 9:30pm with Jono and Ben, before DTV TWO takes the BBC feed of the event from 11pm.

Artist info hasn’t been announced yet but the date for a press conference regarding the event is scheduled for March 18th and DTV News will bring the press conference to viewers live.

London’s Wembley Stadium will host the event and it is believed that the event will eclipse that of Live Aid back in 1985.

Additionally, we are in the process of acquiring the entire Thames and London Weekend Television library and this will be part of our UK Classics Channel.

The scheduled debut of this channel is set to be around Feb 1 and in the coming days we will be revealing the lineup for the channel.

This has been delayed until March 1. But IRL I totally forgot to do the listings. Sorry guys.

Listings were created by Meta AI.

Follyfoot was produced by Yorkshire, not Thames.

Blame the AI :rofl:


Created this on Suno and I asked Meta AI to source the information for the lyrics externally and I think it did a good job this time.
