MÃori Television in New Zealand launch second channels and go tapeless with Enigma LogServer™ for compliance logging

MÃori Television will launch a second channel in 100 per cent te reo MÃori on Friday March 28 2008. The new channel will initially broadcast during the prime time hours of 8.00 PM to 11.00 PM via the Freeview platform.

The aim is to better meet the needs of fluent MÃori speakers, MÃori language learners and to enable New Zealanders to have full immersion MÃori language households.

"We identified mediaproxy's LogServer&trade: as a practical tool to ensure that the network's legal compliance and transmission alarms are captured reliably" said Mark Bullen, Technology Manager of MÃori Television. "It provides flexible access for subsequent review by our Executive, Programming, Sales, Engineering and Legal personnel across the network."

"We are excited to have MÃori Television on board", says Erik Otto, General Manager of :mediaproxy. "Combining resources with our local partner Gencom, we look forward to working with Mark and his team."
