Television New Zealand (TVNZ) had a monopoly on TV in New Zealand until 1989. Its main channels are:
- TV One - news, current affairs, general entertainment, documentaries and sport
- TV2 - movies, soap operas, popular music, aimed at a younger audience
The private TV channels currently available in New Zealand are:
- TV3 - news, current affairs, general entertainment, and sport
- C4 - youth music channel
- Prime TV - general entertainment
In 1990, Sky Network Television (then unrelated to its UK namesake) launched three pay-TV channels offering movies, sport and news on UHF. In 1999 it launched a multichannel digital satellite TV service, including a music channel called Juice.
There are also plans for a TV channel in Maori, known as the Maori Television Service.
