Heat on Maori TV

STUFF : ENTERTAINMENT - STORY : National Party puts heat on Maori TV:

It's a bird! It's Gerry Brownlee...! No, it's SUPERTED!"'We have serious questions about why Te Mangai Paho (New Zealand On Air) money should be invested in programming that reaches such a small audience.' " - Gerry Brownlee.

Um... because that's what New Zealand on Air is for? Way to go Gerry!

I think Maori TV is great - while I'm not an avid viewer, I'd say I watch it as much as any bar the Sky movie channels I subscribe to.

They've yet to have a major international hit along the lines of say, Welsh Tv's SuperTed... and lets leave that analogy where it lies.
