LABOUR WEEKEND
In real life, the Bunnings NPC final (Canterbury v Wellington) will take place at Orangetheory Stadium this Saturday (22 October). Thereâs also the Heartland Championship finals and game four of the 2022 Constellation Cup (Australia Diamonds v Silver Ferns) on Queenslandâs Gold Coast.
Here are the mock schedules for PTV, Bold and Peach on Labour Weekend (22-24 October).
Although PTV Network New Zealand (Patrick Te Pou Enterprises Ltd) is a fictional broadcaster, it is intended that new episodes of most US and UK shows would be recorded off the satellite for broadcast on New Zealand television within hours or days but sometimes 1-2 weeks after US/UK transmission (e.g.) a new episode of The Graham Norton Show is first shown in the UK on Saturday morning (NZ time) and then recorded for broadcast on Saturday night.

Isnât it a bit too much like Ten in Australia?
@TBoy No. In New Zealand, Bold and Peach are unlinked to Australiaâs Network 10 (e.g. 10 Bold and 10 Peach).
Bold (formerly known as Turbo but the name was changed to avoid confusion with the Discovery Turbo brand in real life) targets 25-54 with a male skew and is a combined general entertainment and sport channel.
Peach (formerly known as Viva but the name was changed to avoid confusion with NZMEâs Viva brand in real life) targets 25-54 with a female skew and is similar to Bravo but has differences as well - a mix of reality, factual and lifestyle shows, true crime documentaries, female-skewed movies and free-to-air coverage of womenâs sports (from Netball to the Black Ferns).
PTV+ UPDATE
@greenpea @NuStraya @foxyrover @LiamP Sometime ago, I made changes to my dream television networkâs digital platform (PTV+) and hereâs an update.
PTV+, like Britainâs ITVX (in real life), would be the first streaming service in New Zealand to offer viewers the flexibility to access free content with ads and ad-free paid subscription, all in one place.
Viewers would now be able to stream a variety of live and on-demand content, with adverts, for free while, on the same service, a paid subscription would give upgrade access to a premium tier (known as PTV+ Premium) where all of the free content can be viewed, without the ads, as well as an array of âPTV+ Premium exclusiveâ content available.
Subscribers would also have access to Neon which curates the biggest and best binge-worthy TV series and movies that the world has to offer. Neon - which, in real life, is owned by Sky - is home to premium dramas and entertainment like HBOâs Game of Thrones and its prequel series, House of the Dragon, plus The Handmaidâs Tale and many others.
Meanwhile, sports fans with PTV+ Premium would have access to live streaming of the Super Rugby, Bunnings NPC, NRL, ANZ Premiership, A-League, English Premier League, PGA and LPGA Tours, ATP Tennis, the Supercars Championship and many other sporting events, as well as full replays, highlights and review shows on-demand. Most of the sports content would be free to all viewers, similar to Spark Sport Freebies (in real life), with the inclusion of ads.
Overall, the content on PTV+ would range from US and UK dramas, comedies, documentaries and entertainment to movies, live sport, New Zealand programmes and much, much more.
FREE AD-SUPPORTED STREAMING TV CHANNELS (FAST CHANNELS)
Free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) is unknown in New Zealand and PTV+ would offer a package of up to 100 FAST channels, some of which are permanent and some are for a limited time only. The FAST channels would be a themed curation of shows and other content, played out on a linear schedule.
As shown in the images below, there are 85 FAST channels covering movies, dramas, comedy, classic TV, factual and lifestyle entertainment, news, kids TV, sport and music (at the time of writing). By comparison, Pluto TV in the United States has over 200 FAST channels, over 400 global content partners and more than 150,000 hours of content with an audience of nearly 50 million viewers worldwide.

An overview of my dream television network has just been updated, although there are two versions: one of which is in English and the other is translated into te reo MÄori (the MÄori language), the official language of Aotearoa New Zealand.
For the te reo MÄori version, I used Google Translate and then modified the translations provided using the online version of Te Aka MÄori-English, English-MÄori Dictionary and Index (where necessary). (I have to tell you, folks, that my dream network is not an indigenous broadcaster. To me, itâs a privately owned, commercially funded and fully mainstream broadcaster that is based in New Zealand, with the ability to promote te reo and value tikanga MÄori, i.e. MÄori language and customs, where appropriate.)
Because there are 49 slides and only 20 images or less are submitted (per post), hereâs an introduction to my network if it becomes a reality (in English and MÄori).

NEW LOOK DAYTIME SCHEDULE FOR PTV
@greenpea @NuStraya Below is a mock press release.
PTV Network New Zealand (as a fictional broadcaster) today announced that the daytime schedule for its main channel, PTV, will be revamped. From March 2023 there will be a mix of returning favourites and new local programmes, made specifically for daytime viewing.
AFTER NINE
Daily from 9-10am Monday to Friday (right after Sunrise), PTV Networkâs mid-morning magazine programme will be known as After Nine (hosts TBC).
Live from the networkâs Christchurch studios, After Nine will provide a wide range of regular segments, celebrity interviews and competitions in a magazine-style format. Regular segments include cooking with guest chefs, movie and book reviews, entertainment news, panel discussions, live music, fashion, exercise, parenting, craft, interior design, gardening, makeovers, nutrition and relationship advice.
Advertorials, produced at the networkâs new Hamilton studios, will feature on the programme as After Nine combines strong editorial content with âin-programmeâ commercial opportunities.
50 FORWARD
50 Forward, a lifestyle magazine for the over 50s, will screen Monday to Friday at 10am.
Targeting all Kiwis aged 50+, the weekday series will offer a range of magazine-style features covering such topics as travel, health and retirement living.
Broadcasting legends Mark Leishman and Jude Dobson will team up to co-host 50 Forward in 2023.

Nicely done @PaddyTePou
I assume that After Nine would replace The Morning Break? I can see the British influences within your morning programming and I have to say I do like it a lot. Business Day is also an interesting idea given that financial news doesnât get lengthy daily exposure. Would there also be a nightly review in a similar format as well or would PTV News just package content from Business Day like interviews etc for their nightly late bulletins?
Thanks, @greenpea - I wanted to give The Morning Break a fresh new look and feel by changing its name to After Nine. It would contain the same magazine-style format as the original (and other mid-morning shows in real life) - celebrity interviews, lifestyle features, entertainment, cooking and advertorials.
To me, a new purpose-built studio and broadcast facility in Hamilton, like Christchurch (WhitebaitMedia in real life), would play host to regional news (the Waikato edition of Coast to Coast), regional talk shows and childrenâs programmes for national broadcast as well as advertorials for After Nine. It is also intended that, because the Waikato region is home to thoroughbred racing industry, TAB Trackside and its two racing channels would move from their real-life Auckland home, i.e. NEP, to Hamilton.
The key production and technical staff located anywhere in the country (e.g. Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch) would be offered positions in Hamilton with the network creating new, Waikato based jobs and opportunities for people who are new to the television industry, including graduates from the New Zealand Broadcasting School (NZBS).
I created Business Day as a programme loosely based on Channel 4âs Business Daily (1987-92) and the BBCâs Working Lunch (1994-2010), which used to air in weekday lunchtime slots and ran for half an hour.
Business Day would go to air at 1pm on weekdays (in between the US soaps The Young and the Restless and Days of Our Lives in their new timeslots) and provide business people with a half hour package of news, market updates, interviews and authoritative commentary and analysis on the stories and issues of interest to the corporate sector.
It is intended that there would be a late night edition of Business Day at around 11pm (right after PTV Networkâs late night news and current affairs programme, Nightline), wrapping up the the day in business and finance.
What do you think?
Sounds good but I would move Business Dayâs start time to 12pm til 1pm like so
11.30am - PTV News at 11.30am
12.00pm - Business Day (NEW SERIES)
Then you could move into an afternoon soap block til 3pm

6.00am - Sunrise
9.00am - After Nine (NEW SERIES)

As requested by @greenpea, Business Day would move an hour earlier (from 1pm to 12 noon). Here are the mock programme details.
PTV NEWS AT 11.30AM
Presented by Amanda Gillies, PTV News at 11.30am is PTV Networkâs lunchtime news bulletin and provides its viewers with a wrap of the morningâs events and the latest updates on the dayâs developing news stories from New Zealand and around the world, plus sports news and the afternoonâs weather forecast, in a concise 30 minute package. In addition, newsbreaks will screen on PTV throughout the afternoon (at approx 1pm, 2pm, 3pm and 4pm).
BUSINESS DAY
PTV News at 11.30am will be followed at midday by Business Day, PTV Networkâs lunchtime programme devoted to business and finance.
Catering for a cross-section of business leaders and senior business people, along with small to medium-sized business owners, Business Day will provide a package of the latest in business, economic and financial news from New Zealand and around the world, along with updates on local and world markets, currency movements and the gold price.
The programme will also offer interviews with New Zealand and the worldâs business leaders, local business success stories, and authoritative commentary and analysis on the stories and issues of interest to the corporate sector.
Kethaki Masilamani and Jonathan Mitchell will be appointed as presenters of Business Day, and the team of reporters will include Rachel Das (from Newstalk ZB/NZME), Shannon Johnstone (from Newstalk ZB/NZME), Nicholas Pointon (from RNZ) and Anan Zaki (from RNZ).
Business Day will screen Monday to Friday at 12pm. In addition, there will be a late night edition of the programme with packaged content, wrapping up the day in business and finance, at around 11.10pm (right after PTV Networkâs late news and current affairs programme, Nightline).
DAYTIME DRAMA
The hit US soaps - The Young and the Restless, Days of Our Lives and The Bold and the Beautiful - will screen back to back from 12.30pm until 3pm. General Hospital will continue to screen at 10.30am, as usual.

NEW LOCAL PROGRAMMES FOR 2023
@greenpea @NuStraya @LiamP @Michael_Eccles Below are the mock details promoting the addition of new, locally made programmes to PTV Network New Zealandâs (as a fictional broadcaster) 2023 season, although this is just a sample.
bp ULTIMATE 98 CAR SHOW (PTV)
Veteran sports broadcaster Stephen McIvor, motorsport legend Greg Murphy and former Silver Fern Storm Purvis join forces to host PTV Networkâs brand new motoring magazine - bp Ultimate 98 Car Show (with bp Ultimate 98 as its naming rights sponsor). Each week, the hosts provide an in-depth insight into the recent developments from the motoring world while also conducting various tests to deduce the capabilities of the vehicles. If youâre a car lover, then bp Ultimate 98 Car Show is made especially for you.
GAMESWORLD + GAMESWORLD LATE (Bubble / Shake)
Introducing Gamesworld - a brand new show for younger gamers, by gamers. Each week, Gamesworld has the latest game reviews, gaming news, live streams, fun stories from the weird world of gaming and a whole lot more in a magazine-style format. Gamesworld Late caters exclusively for the older gamer; the premise is the same as the main version though.
ITâS ACADEMIC (Shake)
An 80s general knowledge quiz show for high school students, Itâs Academic, returns to New Zealand screens with more questions and a fresh new look! With 81 schools competing against each other, the all new version of Itâs Academic is divided into three regional editions - the upper North Island (North), the lower North Island (Central) and the South Island (South) - which include nine heats, three semifinals and a regional final. The winners of each region meet in the National Final, where they vie for digital watches, handheld calculators and the latest sets of the Encyclopedia Britannica, plus $10,000 from Sorted in Schools, for the winning school.
LAW & ORDER: NZ (PTV)
The New Zealand adaptation of the US Law & Order franchise, one of the most successful brands in US primetime television, is coming! Lives hang in the balance as CIB detectives and prosecutors pursue justice in Wellington, New Zealandâs capital city. In cases ripped from the headlines, police investigate serious and often deadly crimes, weighing the evidence and questioning the suspects until someone is taken into custody. The Police Prosecution Service then builds a case to convict the perpetrator by proving the person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Working together, these expert teams navigate all sides of the complex criminal justice system to make Wellington a safer place - and keep the worst offenders off the streets.
PARENT TIME (PTV)
Presented by TV journalist Susie Nordqvist, Parent Time is PTV Networkâs new weekday programme which intends to give parents support and information to help them enjoy themselves and their children more. Topics covered in the series include grandparentsâ stories, health and safety, behaviour and relationships, food and eating in family life, the stages of development of children and ideas to enrich childrenâs playing and learning.
SUNSHINE COVE (Shake)
Sunshine Cove is a brand new serial drama set in a picturesque seaside town within the Coromandel - about 2.5 hoursâ drive from the city of Auckland. Everybody knows a town like it. Theyâve spent holidays there during the summer months attracted by the beach, the fishing and the beautiful setting. It is the kind of town that, to those in the city, offers the potential of an idyllic life, a life devoid of the problems they face everyday in the city. But like anywhere else, the characters in Sunshine Cove are ordinary Kiwis who experience the same hopes and aspirations, fears and uncertainties as ordinary people everywhere. Above all, Sunshine Cove is about community - a group of people not without their failings, but who can always laugh at themselves and whose lives will often be inspirational.
TARGET (PTV)
Somebody has to hold big companies accountable when they do their customers wrong. On Target, PTV Networkâs brand new consumer affairs programme, that is the responsibility of reporters Mitch McCann, Kaitlin Ruddock and Ximena Smith. Viewers contact the programme with situations that they want to be looked into. The reporters then investigate those stories, quiz big businesses and test claims that the companies make about their best-selling products. When all is said and done, the reporters try to keep the companies honest to benefit Kiwi consumers.
TICK TOCK (Bubble)
Tick Tock is PTV Networkâs brand new programme introducing Kiwi kids to alphabet, colours, numbers and the world around them. This weekday series brings together live-action, animation, puppetry and music - combined with games, songs and stories - to form a powerful mix of education and fun.

CHANGES TO GEMâS SCHEDULE
@greenpea @LiamP Below is a mock press release.
PTV Network New Zealand (as a fictional broadcaster) today announced that there will be some changes to the scheduling of programmes on GEM.
GAME SHOWS
Four British game shows - Pointless, Tipping Point, Eggheads and Richard Osmanâs House of Games - have been added to GEMâs weekday schedule.
Pointless will go to air weekdays at 10am. Hosted by Alexander Armstrong, Pointless sees four couples battle it out by answering general knowledge questions with the aim of finding the most obscure answers to score low and win big. If one member of a couple provides a correct answer that was not said by anyone in the survey, known as a pointless answer, they get no points and money is added to the jackpot, which is the grand prize a couple can win for giving a correct pointless answer in the final round.
Last seen on TVNZ, Tipping Point has moved to its new home on GEM and will screen at 11am (right after Pointless). Hosted by Ben Shephard, Tipping Point sees three contestants answering questions on the subject of general knowledge and aiming to win up to 10,000 pounds by inserting counters into a jackpot machine.
After a break for reruns of British dramas and soaps (plus new episodes of Doctors and EastEnders from 3pm), Eggheads, hosted by Jeremy Vine, will be shown at 4.55pm. Winners from such quiz shows as Mastermind and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, who work together as a regular team known as the âEggheadsâ, are pitted against amateur quizzers as they compete to win the title and prize money in a fast-paced quiz contest. If the amateurs manage to beat the Eggheads, theyâll win a cash prize. If the Eggheads win, the prize rolls over until they can be beaten.
This will be followed at 5.25pm by Richard Osmanâs House of Games, hosted by quiz expert Richard Osman. Each week a group of four famous faces compete against each other to test their knowledge in a series of quick-paced rounds of games. Richard will then cross-examine the competitive celebrities as they strive to increase their scores and match Richardâs mental prowess. Each day will conclude with a quick-fire round that will decide the dayâs winner, and scores will be tallied across the week to crown the overall champion.
DRAMAS & SOAPS
Emmerdale is moving to primetime, where it will be shown six nights a week (Sunday to Friday) at the new time of 7pm. This will be followed by Coronation Street at the new time of 7.30pm, and both soaps will be repeated the next day (Coronation Street at 12pm and Emmerdale at 12.30pm). On Mondays, double episodes, i.e. a repeat of Fridayâs and Sundayâs, will be shown (Coronation Street from 12-1pm and Emmerdale from 1-2pm).
Doctors will now go to air at 3pm every weekday, with EastEnders to follow at the new time of 3.35pm Monday to Thursday.
All new episodes will be âexpress from the UKâ, i.e. one week behind the original British broadcasts.
Classic episodes of the BBCâs longest running hospital drama, Casualty (from 1986), will now be shown at 1pm Tuesday to Friday. One of Britainâs much loved police dramas, The Bill (hour-long episodes from 1999), can be seen weekdays at 2pm.
Primetime viewing on GEM will feature the best of quality British drama. From thrillers to crime dramas, classic and modern literary adaptations, intriguing real-life stories and contemporary tales of everyday life, a huge range of premium drama will be shown on most nights of the week. Titles include Call the Midwife, Death in Paradise, Silent Witness and many more, plus brand new episodes of Casualty (express from the UK) and the regular Sunday Playhouse and Friday Mystery strands.
DOCUMENTARIES
Monday nights on GEM become international documentary night. Called The Monday Documentary, the hour-long slot from 8.30pm will play host to a selection of interesting, highly informative factual films from around the world. The documentaries are often confronting, and give a unique insight and voice to issues in countries that are often hidden from the mainstream media.
And Thursday nights are New Zealand documentary nights. Known as Inside NZ Extra (an extension of the Inside New Zealand brand), the hour-long slot from 8.30pm will feature the best of New Zealand-made documentaries that reflect our society - our heritage, our cultural makeup, and issues that are relevant to us as New Zealanders.
MOVIES
GEM has an extensive catalogue of the greatest movies ever made, with a late movie on Friday nights, a matinee movie on Saturday afternoons and double features on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons. The channel will continue to offer viewers a window into the brilliance of Hollywoodâs greatest icons like Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy, Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, along with the excitement generated by todayâs most sought after stars, plus the best from the golden age of British cinema.
NEWS AND CURRENT AFFAIRS
For busy viewers, unable to catch the 6pm news on PTV, PTV News at 8pm will go to air Monday to Friday and provide them with a fresh update on the important news of the day from New Zealand and around the world, backed by the resources of the PTV Network newsroom and international sources via satellite, plus sport and weather.
For non-MÄori speakers Te HÄteri, PTV Networkâs daily news programme in te reo MÄori (live at 4.30pm weekdays on PTV), will be repeated with English subtitles at 6.30pm on GEM (see below). Te HÄteri will present comprehensive coverage of MÄori events and issues and bring a fresh MÄori outlook to the important national and international news of the day.
A repeat of the Te HÄteri bulletin, with subtitles, was going to be repeated on BBC World News as mentioned in my previous posts. But, at the last minute, I had a change of mind and the bulletin would move to GEM so that, in addition to the English subtitles, fluent speakers and learners of the MÄori language would be able to access MÄori subtitles in the same way as captions for the deaf and hearing impaired by pressing the SUBTITLE button on their TV remote.
In real life, TVNZ 2 screened a special edition of the game show, Brain Busters, for MÄori Language Week (Te Wiki o te Reo MÄori) and MÄori subtitles were available. This was in addition to the English subtitles on screen.
PTV Networkâs nightly current affairs programme, Campbell Live (6.30pm weeknights on GEM), will be repeated after midnight on GEM to offer a choice for night owls! Presented by experienced New Zealand journalist and broadcaster, John Campbell, Campbell Live takes an in-depth look at the topical events and issues affecting the people of Aotearoa New Zealand.
Broadcaster Nathan Rarere will host Media Bites, a critical look at the New Zealand media - television, radio, newspapers and magazines as well as the ânewâ electronic media. The new media commentary show will screen on GEM at around 9.30pm every Monday.
60 Minutes: The Foreign Edition (an extension of PTV Networkâs flagship current affairs programme, 60 Minutes) is devoted to international current affairs taken from the CBS and Channel Nine programmes, and introduced by award-winning journalist Michael Morrah. The programme will screen on GEM at 9.45pm every Monday (right after Media Bites).
PTV Newsweek, a review of the weekâs national and international news with on-screen captions and NZSL (New Zealand Sign Language) for the deaf and hearing impaired, will go to air on GEM at 6pm every Saturday.
CLASSIC TV
A selection of classic TV series - I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, Gilliganâs Island, Hoganâs Heroes, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Golden Girls, Get Smart, M-A-S-H etc - will continue to screen on GEM and others have moved to their new home on PTV Networkâs classic TV channel, Rewind. And every weeknight at around 11.30pm, laugh along with a classic British comedy show (e.g. Blackadder, One Foot in the Grave etc).
PROPOSED WEEKDAY SCHEDULE (DAYTIME - from 6 March 2023)
7.00am - I Dream of Jeannie
7.30am - Bewitched
8.00am - Gilliganâs Island
8.30am - Hoganâs Heroes

PROPOSED WEEKDAY SCHEDULE (EVENING - from 6 March 2023)
6.00pm - M-A-S-H
6.30pm - Te HÄteri (REPEATED FROM PTV WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES)
7.00pm - Emmerdale
7.30pm - Coronation Street
8.00pm - PTV News at 8pm
8.30pm - A mix of drama, documentary and factual programming
11.30pm approx - Comedy
12.00am approx - Campbell Live (REPEATED FROM PTV)
12.30am approx - Closedown (MON-THU ONLY) / GEMâs Friday Late Movie (FRI ONLY)
2.30am approx - Closedown (FRI ONLY)
CLOSEDOWN
Closedown from Monday to Thursday nights is around 12.30am but often half an hour earlier, i.e. around midnight, on Sunday nights. There are late movies on Friday and Saturday nights, and closedown will follow after the movie. When GEM is off air, a test card and audio simulcast of Magic will be shown (see below).
In real life, Magic is owned and operated by MediaWorks and plays the greatest music of the 50s, 60s and 70s - aka âthe songs you loveâ. The Magic network broadcasts on FM frequencies nationwide, plus 891AM in Wellington, and is live streamed on magic.co.nz and the rova app.
In recent years, Magic has been sponsoring Beach Hop, New Zealandâs #1 nostalgia festival that celebrates the best of the 50s and 60s - rock ân roll, classic cars, motorbikes and so much more.
If my dream network and its channel, GEM, become a reality, the audio simulcast (over the test card) would be the same as Magicâs Auckland frequency, i.e. 100.6FM, and contain weather forecasts and commercial advertising for Auckland, i.e. no localised weather or commercials.
What do you think of the proposed programmes and schedules on GEM?

MÄORI PROGRAMMING ON PTV NETWORK
To reflect the changes to news and current affairs programming on television in real life (e.g. the axing of Newshubâs 4.30pm bulletin), PTV Network New Zealand (as a fictional broadcaster) would replace PTV News at 4.30pm with a daily news programme in te reo MÄori under the Te HÄteri brand.
Te HÄteri would be produced five days a week, Monday to Friday, and broadcast live at 4.30pm on PTV. For the benefit of non-MÄori speakers, the bulletin would be repeated with English subtitles at 6.30pm on GEM and after midnight on PTV.
Produced as part of the PTV News stable of programming with support from Te MÄngai PÄho, Te HÄteri, as a television bulletin, would present comprehensive coverage of events and issues from within MÄori communities in Aotearoa New Zealand and bring a fresh MÄori outlook to the important national and international news of the day. A dedicated team of fluent MÄori speaking journalists would be appointed to the PTV News newsroom.
The television bulletin would be presented by seasoned MÄori journalist and broadcaster, Oriini Kaipara (from Newshub), with Tumamao Harawira (from Te Ao MÄori News through MÄori TV) would reading sport.
Te HÄteri would also continue to become available as a dedicated online section on ptvnews.co.nz and the PTV+ app, covering te ao MÄori (the MÄori world), MÄori voices and perspectives through a mixture of news, features, analysis and commentary. It would be similar to real-life brands such as KÄhu (NZME/NZ Herald) and Pou Tiaki (Stuff).
Meanwhile, PTV Networkâs weekly MÄori current affairs/magazine programme, Taku Tai, would be renamed as Koha - a homage to the original Koha programme which, in real life, was broadcast on TVNZ from 1980 to 1989.
Screening Sundays from 10am-12pm for 42 weeks of the year, Koha would feature a blend of current affairs, documentaries and features covering politics, health, the arts and culture - all from a MÄori perspective - in a bilingual, magazine-style format. Segments would be presented in English and te reo MÄori (with subtitles).
Te HÄteri anchor Oriini Kaipara and award-winning MÄori broadcaster, Julian Wilcox, would co-host Koha and the reporters would include John Boynton (from The Hui), Ashleigh McCaull (from RNZ), DâAngelo Martin (from The Hui) and Yvonne Tahana (from TVNZ). The Koha team would explore issues from a MÄori point of view through current affairs investigations, studio interviews and feature stories in English.
In addition, Koha would feature two weekly segments which, in English, would cover politics and the media from a MÄori lens.
Party People (based on the RNZ programme/podcast of the same name) focuses on politics, politicians and their parties and would be presented by award-winning journalist Mihingarangi Forbes with Marama Fox, Tau Henare and Matt McCarten as rotating guests. PÄnui (âThe Wordâ) would be presented alternately by Claudette Hauiti and Matthew Tukaki, and take a critical look at the media.
Other key features of Koha would include (in alphabetical order):
- NgÄ Pari KÄrangaranga (âCalling Cliffsâ - a series of half hour documentaries in MÄori, looking at different iwi around the country)
- RongoÄ (âMedicineâ - a six-part series which looks at issues on health and wellbeing from a MÄori perspective)
- Te PÄtaka KĹrero (âThe Storyboardâ - an inspirational six-part history series using audio and visual archival material to bring the past back to the present, reflected on significant milestones in time by kaumÄtua and well-known MÄori)
- Te Wiki o Te HÄteri (a review of the weekâs news in MÄori from the Te HÄteri team)
- Toi Whakaari (âPerforming Artsâ - a kapa haka segment at the end of the programme, featuring footage taken from Te Matatini and other kapa haka festivals)
- Umanga (âBusinessâ - a six-part series about business from a MÄori perspective; how to get into business, how to stay in business, and how to be successful in business)
- Wahine Toa (âWarrior Womenâ - a six-part series of studio interviews with well-known MÄori women who speak about their tikanga from their own tribal perspective)
- Whakairo (âSculpturesâ - a six-part series about contemporary and traditional MÄori art)
More to come in the future - watch this space.

NEWS FOR THE BAY OF PLENTY
@greenpea What if PTV Network New Zealand (as a fictional broadcaster), had found a new location in downtown Tauranga?
30 Grey Street, Tauranga. Supplied - no copyright infringement intended.
Located on the first floor of a Grey Street building in downtown Tauranga - once the home of the now-defunct NZ School of Radio and Grey Street TV Studios - PTV Network New Zealandâs Tauranga base would be home to regional news, aiming to reflect the Bay of Plenty and its people.
The regional news programme would be known as Bay of Plenty Tonight (formerly Coast to Coast) and would be staffed by six reporters and three camera crews, plus one ânational reporterâ (for PTV Networkâs national news and current affairs programmes), in Tauranga. Its Rotorua and Whakatane newsrooms would each be staffed by two reporters and one camera crew.
Bay of Plenty Tonight - a blend of the dayâs news, current affairs and magazine-style features from around the Bay of Plenty - would be broadcast live from its Tauranga base at 5.30pm every weeknight and, like other regional programmes (such as Look North in Auckland, Waikato Tonight in Hamilton, Spotlight in Wellington, Mainland Live in Christchurch and Points South in Dunedin), would be Public Interest Journalism funded through NZ On Air.
Each edition of Bay of Plenty Tonight would begin with the major local stories of the day, then come a pre-recorded summary of the national and international news (to be covered in full on PTV News at 6pm; Daniel Faitaua would present the headlines from Auckland). At approx 5.38pm, there would be a commercial break followed by a roundup of the dayâs other local news, then a current affairs investigation of the day, a live or pre-recorded studio interview and some feature stories. On Fridays, Bay of Plenty Tonight would feature a localised version of Police Five which invites viewers in the region to help fight crime. The programme would close with a detailed regional weather forecast and hand to the Auckland studio for the start of PTV News at 6pm.
Aside from regional news, sales offices are based in Tauranga and Whakatane. For further information on how to advertise at a local level, contact your locl PTV Network sales office.
