Television New Zealand, Limited (Māori: Te Reo Tātaki o Aotearoa), more commonly referred to as TVNZ, is a government-owned national broadcaster broadcasting in New Zealand and parts of the Pacific region. Although the network identifies as a national, part-public broadcaster, it is fully commercially funded, and was competition free until November 1989 when private channel TV3 was launched. This began the battle for ratings with the only real rival MediaWorks New Zealand, which currently operates channels TV3, Four, and The Edge TV. However, the company still maintains a number of transmission advantages due to their long standing relationship with the state-owned sister company Kordia.
TVNZ operates playout services from its Auckland studio via Kordia's fibre and microwave network for TV One, TV2 and TVNZ Kidzone with new media video services via the US owned Brightcove which is streamed on the US owned Akamai RTMP/HLS DNS based caching network. Its former channels include TVNZ Heartland (closed 31 May 2015), TVNZ U (closed August 2013), TVNZ 7 (closed June 2012), TVNZ 6 (closed 2011), and TVNZ Sport Extra (closed 2009, but a re-launch is possible).
how the fuck can you have pride in a country
how empty,ignorant and blind do you gotta be
when you fly your filthy fucking flag
your saluting n empty,wortless,useless farce
yur saluting racism
from the day the country started
it's been a part of it
and your saluting your own oppressor
and if your that fucking stupid
you deserve everything you get
your country is shit
your country is total shit and you're fat
with pride as you as you swallow every bit of it
i hope you go first in a war you've pay for
and i hope you still love your country when
your riddled with bullets in foreign country
showerd with bombs and left for dead
so fly their flag
and keep swallowing their shit
i'll never be proud or be supporting it
and i hope one day you all get your chane
as you die for freedom
the power is still in their hands
your country is shit
and you're all fucking shitif your
ignorant enough to believe it and support it
i hope you go first in a war you pay for
and think your protecting freedom when
you're killig innocent women and children
preserving capitalism
for the ones that stay in power
preserving your right to pay taxes
dying for the right to be kept in line
i hope that one day you all get your chance
as your dying for freedom
