My name is Patrick Te Pou, whose nickname is Paddy. And I am from New Zealand.

In fact, I first entered broadcasting in 2007 as a special needs student at Kawerau College (now Tarawera High School) announcing for a now-defunct radio station called Radio Kawerau (or Radio K as it was known). It was broadcast on a low power frequency, 88.3FM (I think). Unfortunately, my journey to broadcasting lasted just six weeks.

Today, I am contributing to what New Zealand broadcasting has to offer … based on my memory. And I intend to start a business through the creation of a privately owned commercial television network - Patrick Te Pou Enterprises Ltd (trading as PTV Network New Zealand).

It’s like turning my dreams into reality, so that the whole of New Zealand will be putting themselves ‘in the mood’ for entertainment, information and inspiration. And in response to a classic Personal Power infomercial, I wish Tony Robbins would be my personal coach.
