People from all over the world, including New Zealand, create their dream television networks. When it comes to scheduling, I have found a piece of nostalgia courtesy of the NZ Listener (at Takapuna Library).
Applications to apply for a warrant to operate New Zealand’s third national television network opened in 1985 and coincident with that, media commentator Warren Mayne wrote a piece for the Listener in regard to programme scheduling.
@TV4 @nztv @medianz @OnAir @foxyrover @AK_NEWS @LiamP See for yourself!

Interesting stuff. I didn’t realise there were quite that many operations vying to broadcast… wonder who was behind them all?

How did it take you 23 days to upload the rest of the article?
Not a nitpick, just strange.

@LiamP @TV4 asked me just one question.
According to a Listener article by Warren Mayne, here are the people behind the third television channel warrants in New Zealand. There were four regional warrants: Auckland/Northland (region 1), Waikato/Bay of Plenty (2), lower North Island (3) and South Island (4).
Southern Cross Television was partly owned by Wilson & Horton (the then publishers of the NZ Herald), NZI Corporation, Fisher & Paykel and Independent Newspapers Ltd, which was based in Wellington at the time. It had inherited the $12 million broadcast television complex located in the Auckland suburb of Mt Wellington.
Alone of the four ‘majors’ Southern Cross nominally was not an applicant for all four regions. Instead it went to one extreme in having a standalone associate, United Telecast Corporation (UTC), as its ally in the Waikato/Bay of Plenty region, and to the other in promoting two fully owned Southern Cross subsidiaries as the regions three and four applicants.
Meanwhile, Impact (ITV) was partly owned by Fletcher Challenge, New Zealand News, Chase Corporation (which was the owner of Amalgamated Theatres), the Owens Group and Brierley Investments.
Tele-vid 3 (TV3) was founded by Tom Parkinson (formerly head of entertainment at TVNZ). Radio Pacific (Auckland), the Gisborne-based Thomas Corson (Waikato/Bay of Plenty), Manawatu Radio or 2XS (Wellington/Central North Island) and Skellerup Industries (South Island) were part owners of the TV3 group.
Energy Source Television (ESTV) was partly owned by Barclays (NZ) Ltd, the merchant bank.
Meanwhile, the independent news warrant was a major feature of the third channel system - the Broadcasting Tribunal was empowered to hold up issuing regional warrants until a satisfactory news operator was found. Legally, the news company would be issued with a separate programme warrant to broadcast at set times over the regional operators’ transmitters and could, if it chose, be self-supporting, selling its own advertising time.
One of the news warrants was Independent Television News (ITN), associated with ITV. Three of the four corporate giants behind ITV held together only 30% of ITN’s shares (the fourth ITV backer, NZ News, opted out to avoid criticism of cross-media ownership and ties with Brierley). The other 70% was held by ITV’s founders - notably film producer John Barnett, chief executive designate Barry Soper (a former television journalist now a longest-serving parliamentary reporter) and former radio journalist Brett Ambler.
The other applicants were Regional Television Network News (RTNN) in conjunction with the Southern Cross/UTC banner, ESTV News and Tele-vid News (TVN). TVN was headed by former magazine writer/editor and current affairs interviewer Marcia Russell; ESTV’s by Graham Weir and former Press editor Norman Macbeth; and RTTN’s by former Herald editorial writer Gavin Ellis and former judge Peter Mahon.
There were two other contenders applying for warrants to operate in one region only. Onshore Services, headed by airline steward Larry Tompkins, had a staff of 22, including a group of people associated with various short-term holiday radio stations. Onshore’s proposal for Auckland was basically reliant on buying in all programming on contract from independent producers and the format was solidly music video, of all styles of music.
Civic Enterprises, backed by Christchurch lawyer/businessman John Rutherford, was a long-established property company refashioned as a potential television operator proposing a series of interlinked low-powered local stations in Nelson, Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin and Invercargill.
Challenging all the conventional commercial third channel applicants is Aotearoa Broadcasting System (ABS), first regarded as a token application aimed at airing the Maori case for a better deal from television, as a first step for a more ambitious proposal to be laid before the Royal Commission into Broadcasting.
ABS proposed limited hours of service - two hours at lunchtime devoted to talkback, marae outside broadcasts and other participation programming from 12 noon, reopening at 6pm with a bilingual diet of news, comedies, documentaries and access programming, most geared to Maori cultural and community interests, before the movie (at 9.30pm). The 9.30pm slot was aimed at the non-Maori audience.
The crucial element in the case was not so much the specific programming but the fact that the decision making on the channel would be from a Maori perspective and in Maori hands.

Thanks for that Paddy, lots of info there. It seems it was probably always a two-horse between Southern Cross and TV3, judging by that article.

Does it seriously matter?
What? That’s his name.
What sort of a name is that? Makes it seem like they are ‘behind the 8-ball’ (i.e. late to the party). Maybe ‘On the Ball’ would be a better name?
