After many years of protest, agitation, and court hearings, the Māori Television Service finally launched in April 2004. This is the first 30 minutes that went to air. Presented by Julian Wilcox and Rongomaianiwaniwa Milroy, the launch opens with a full blessing ceremony at the Māori Television offices, featuring special guests including MPs and other dignitaries. Julian Wilcox also gives background information on the new channel and outlines some programming highlights from the days ahead.
