Four (New Zealand TV channel)

Four (stylised as FOUR; formerly TV4) was the second New Zealand television channel owned and operated by MediaWorks New Zealand, broadcast via the state-owned Kordia transmission network. The channel launched on 29 June 1997 as TV4 and was replaced by C4 on 3 October 2003. It was relaunched on 6 February 2011 as a separate channel from C4.

On 2 July 2016, Mediaworks closed Four and replaced it with Bravo as part of a deal with NBC Universal.

In general, the channel's target audience was 18- to 49-year-olds and could be broader in its appeal, with programming which attracted a wider, and more mature audience. During early mornings and late afternoons the channel screened a range of children's programming such as ''Sesame Street'' and in the evenings screened shows aimed at the mainstream audience. Overnight and late mornings – early afternoons the channel screened Infomercials and Auto TV (Car Commercials). Four broadcast mostly American programming, with the exception of ''Sticky TV'', ''Four Live'', and ''Smash'', which were in-house produced Auckland-hosted youth shows, and the ''Pukana'' youth show, which was produced from a Maori language government fund. ''Pukana'' also airs on one of the two government funded Maori language channels. Provided by Wikipedia
