More Maori telly

300 hours of Maori content for TV One and TV Two? Say 6 am to 1pm on both channels gives around 1000 hours a month.

So 15% of the population are getting 30% of the telly? I can see a Sky dish arriving here soon.

What happened to the maori tv station!

Most of the time nothings on there so flick all their programmes that way.

Turn the idiot box off and go live your own life... works for me

Seriously try this.... turn it off, and leave it off for a week. no exceptions... you will be blown away at how much time you "get back"

[dogsnbikes]

TV1 is all I get

Guess that just means more time working on and riding my bikes

State-sponsored racism. Pandering to a minority.
Face it...'they' got their own fully-funded channel, but even that isn't enough.

Best yet !!!! there is only one box I like to look at all the time, plus the bonus is I get to play with it sometimes....

What the hell? What about the other minorities? This is racism!

We also need 2 hours of Asian TV, 1 hour Cook Island shows and another hour of various Indian/Arabian shows.

Bigoted government.

Funnily enough, I watch Maori TV quite often. I'm not pro maori as such, but the program content is better than I expected it to be. They have good movies with fuck all ads, good documentaries and good Kiwi programs like Code and Meke my Waka. Meke my Waka is great, they are totally non PC which is very refreshing, showing you things like how to do a burnout in your car while climbing half out and standing on the ground! Frikken hilarious!!
Give it a try!

You should be used to that bro'. Back home in Scotland Gaelic speakers get about 10% of the programming on STV and BBC Scotland....and they barely represent 0.2% of the population.

So in reality, out of all TV available they probably get a lot less than 30%.

Poor old Asians represent about 6% of population and all they get is The Kumars........do they complain?

More social engineering at work. You should take a look at the ratings of the Maori channel. If it was privately funded, it would go under in a week. Just goes to show that most NZers (including maori) aren't interested.

I like Police 10-7 though. A real cultural experience.

No interest..so why are we talking about this??
