	Bank's attack on Maori TV did not breach standards - New Zealand news on Stuff.co.nz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Maori Television made several complaints to the BSA after Banks said while hosting a show on Radio Pacific on July 25 that the "money-guzzling apartheid state-owned Maori Television channel" had been "slapped down hard" by the BSA.
		Maori Television said Banks was incorrect on several points and calling the channel "racist" and "apartheid" denigrated Maori Television and Maori people in general.
		The BSA found the comments were not denigratory to Maori in general, because Banks was referring to the channel directly, which was not a "section of the community".

	The Maori Year (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)

	Maori Broadcasting: Television Services \| Māori Broadcasting \| Archive
		It is considered that the Government's obligation to promote the Maori language through television broadcasting is best met by Te Mangai Paho (TMP) purchasing Maori language programmes on a competitive basis and by TMP deciding on the appropriate balance between programmes shown on the main networks and other broadcasters, including a Maori television channel.
		In recognition of Maori governance aspirations, Te Puni Kokiri and Commerce propose that the Government establish a trust charged with managing UHF frequencies reserved for the promotion of Maori language and culture, together with a capital sum necessary for the establishment of a nation-wide Maori television channel.
		NMO advisors are currently arguing for the establishment of a Crown/Maori "Maori Television Council" to manage the Crown's "settlement" in respect of Maori television.

	From Broadcasting to Narrowcasting
		The young, talented Maori broadcasters were understandably upset that they were paid a pittance while their bosses were apparently doing very nicely.
		Maori language on TV is now limited to one TV programme a day, broadcast mid-afternoon by TVNZ.
		Maori programming is better served by radio, where there are a number of stations run by Maori iwi (tribes) as well as regular broadcasts at peak times by Radio New Zealand on their National station.

	Maori Television Act may be Overprotective - Litigation Library from A J Park
		The Maori Television Service has applied to register the trade mark MAORI TELEVISION in a number of classes in New Zealand with those applications currently being examined by the Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand (IPONZ).
		Perhaps of greatest interest is that any other person wanting to set up an indigenous television service in New Zealand with a focus on Maori language and culture would appear to be in breach of the act by calling its product 'Maori Television'.
		In essence, it appears that the provision in the Maori Television Service Act prohibits what in the normal course of events would be legitimate use of the descriptive term 'Maori Television'.

	Massey News Article - Maori Television accused of missing language focus
		He is also sceptical of the value of the second Maori television channel, due to be launched next year with a greater emphasis on te reo Maori, describing it as a waste of resources.
		Maori Television chief executive Jim Mather has said in a statement that the second channel would better meet the needs of fluent speakers and Maori language learners by screening three hours daily programming in 100 per cent te reo.
		He frequently writes to Maori Television bosses challenging their programming choices, and would like to see a review, or even a research-driven baseline study and a follow-up study targeting reo Maori audience participation levels.

	Canku Ota - November 16, 2002 - Maori Language Enjoys Resurgence
		But now Maori is not only spoken fluently by at least a quarter of New Zealand's indigenous population, but many non-Maori New Zealanders can also hold a basic conversation in the country's native tongue.
		Maori who were fluent were getting old and children weren't taught Maori at school or encouraged to speak it at home.
		The latest study by the Ministry of Maori Affairs shows the Maori language is no longer in decline, that a quarter of Maori now speak the language.

		The function of the Maori television service is to promote te reo Maori me nga tikanga Maori, through the provision of a high quality, cost effective Maori television service, in both Maori and English, which informs, educates and entertains, and in doing so, enriches New Zealand's society, culture and heritage.

	Maori Culture
		As part of the resurgence of Maori culture that came to the fore in the late 20th century, the tradition-based arts of kapa haka (song and dance), carving and weaving are widely practiced, and the architecture of the marae maintains strong links to traditional forms.
		Maori also value their connections to Polynesia, as attested by the increasing popularity of waka ama (outrigger canoe racing), which is now an international sport involving teams from all over the Pacific.
		Use of the Maori language (Te Reo Maori) as a living, community language remained only in a few remote areas in the post-war years, but is currently undergoing a renaissance, thanks in part to Maori language immersion schools and a Maori Television channel.

		Maori radio therefore developed with perhaps greater diversity, and accessibility than even the Global Plan had envisaged.
		It was founded on the previous Te Reo Maori claim, which established the Maori language as a taonga for the purpose of Article Two of the Treaty of Waitangi.
		The Crown's assumptions that Maori television would use UHF frequencies were well out-of-date by then: technology had moved on, and digital satellite transmission would prove to be a more effective option.

		Now it intends to attack funding set aside for Maori language programming in order to produce programmes that Maori Television is already broadcasting.” Mr Mather said Maori Television had recently approached TVNZ to explore the potential for the two public broadcasters to work in a collaborative, rather than competitive, manner.
		Maori Television had developed what he believed was a sound, logical and robust plan for the two to work together to reduce production and programming costs, resulting in a better and more responsible spend of taxpayer funds.
		Maori Television was an independent broadcaster with a schedule and programming style that vastly differed to that of TVNZ, and would make its schedule decisions based on its programming strategy and reo Maori content needs.

	WIPO Domain Name Decision: D2005-0524
		The Complainant is required by statute to use the television medium to revitalise Maori language and culture, being the language and culture of New Zealand’s indigenous people.
		The Complainant submits that “Maori Television Service” and “Maori Television” are common law trade marks in New Zealand, well known to members of the public and that the domain name is confusingly similar to the marks “Maori Televisions Service” and “Maori Television”.
		While the creation of the Maori TV channel may not necessarily have generated the same level of publicity, it was certainly a matter of relatively widespread debate and coverage in New Zealand.
