Maori TV saga continues

I reada couple of articles in the Herald with regard to the World Cup bid, put forward by Maori Tv with backing from TPK:

The first from a Herald writer, talking about how he thought it was great Maori TV were doing something, and that pretty much the other broadcasters are useless:

He also mentioned that Prime doesnt have full penetration and some people cant get one two or three either

He too also talked about how the Government can work with Maori TV to achieve full penetration, and even, he looked at the possibility of offering a subsidy for those who cannot get the terrestrial service, to pay for a free view satellite network.

He also talked about being able to cash in on early revenue as the Government will get funds for freeing up the old network and making it available for commercial use.

The other article I found interesting on the subject was that Pita Sharples Maori Affairs Minister, who OK'd the funding boost through TPK, said that he would apologize to PM John Key and DPM Bill English - the other Minister responsible for Maori TV for not keeping the Leaders fully in on the proposal and deal.

Fair enough now lets get into getting Maori TV into 100% of New Zealand and lets hurry up and switch off the old network.

Anyway not all of New Zealand will want to watch the All Blacks lose to South Africa.
