| 1283847 | 2012-06-25 10:07:00 | Hi All. So TV7 in its present form will be no more in a few days. Why is it that government , of any hue, tend to destroy anything that is good? PJ |

| 1283848 | 2012-06-25 12:49:00 | Because John Key is a dick, and so is the government. | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1283849 | 2012-06-25 21:52:00 | I notice the the Gov still can pump $50 mil / year into 2 race based Maori TV channels. Guess if your not Maori in this country and you want something other than a diet of reality tv, cooking shows, Coro St or crime then you have to pay Sky $50 + / month now.. | paulw (1826) | ||

| 1283852 | 2012-06-25 23:18:00 | TV7 never interested me, I watched maybe an hour of it in total since launch. I still regret it going because I like to have choices. However I just don't think it was popular enough to stay, which is unfortunate for those that like it but a commercial reality. I have no Idea how popular the Maori channels are, but I suspect they have more viewers than 7 did. Even if not, something Maori do very well is make their objections known if someone tries to take something away from them. I respect the desire to preserve the language and culture personally, even if I don't share it. Perhaps if TV7s viewers were as vocal in their objections it would have been different. |

Why should the tax payers pay for the enjoyment of very few of their number. |

The Maoris have a political party that makes sure all things maori are funded by the tax payer but TVNZ 7 views don't. Guess you haven't seen the protest marches about the closes or the public meetings in the news recently?? |

| 1283856 | 2012-06-26 06:19:00 | So they can dumb you down... name me one serious investigative show on mainstream TV that plays in at a peak time? There would probably be more viewers watching TV7 than the Maori channels | ruup (1827) | ||
