Cry TV

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable television station in New Zealand that only operated for four years and has few, if any, external sources. — Parent5446 ☯ ([ msg] email) 23:50, 8 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - I think a TV station which is on the air for 4 years in a major city is pretty well automatically notable. There is a lack of sources because it was a while ago, but that doesn't affect notability. The New Zealand Herald placed it as #62 in the top 100 moments in NZ music. As a rough analogy, the defunct Adelaide community station ACE TV has a page. Adpete (talk) 01:50, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - It's demise was quite controversial, as TVNZ was accused of introducing MTV-UK primarily to force Cry-TV and Auckland counterpart Max-TV out of the market - and the five state-funded regional channels were shut down to provide frequencies for MTV. MTV was taken off-air a few months after Cry and Max closed down. There would probably be source material in The Listener (print version). It's the old story - stuff from 1890 is easy to find as everything is being digitised, but the 1990's is poorly documented online. dramatic (talk) 09:42, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
