Max TV

Max TV was a New Zealand music channel available free to air on UHF channel 49 in Auckland from 28 October 1993 to 3 December 1997.

When Max TV began transmission it was known as Max: The Music Channel. The channel was jointly owned and operated by Aztel Holdings (radio personality Kevin Black, who owned the frequency licence, and his partner Jeff Thorpe) and On-Line Productions, a video production house.^[1]

The channel initially broadcast from 4:00pm until midnight Monday to Thursday; 4:00pm until 1:00am on Friday; 7:00am until 1:00am on Saturday; and 7:00am until midnight on Sunday. By April 1996 its transmission hours were extended to 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

On 20 May 1997, the channel broadcast the music video to Iggy Pop's song "Pussy Walk". Local feminist group Women Against Pornography considered the music video 'offensive and insulting to women'.^[2]

On 2 December 1997, Television New Zealand announced that the channel would close down on the following day.^[3]
