PTV Network New Zealand: PTV1 Nightly Closedown (Mock)
Channel: Patrick Te Pou
Date: 31/01/2021

As a savant of the New Zealand media, my dream television network - Patrick Te Pou Enterprises Ltd (trading as PTV Network New Zealand) - is made up of the largest family of free-to-air channels in the country, similar to ITV in the UK.

The video you are about to see is a mock closedown sequence. It is intended that each PTV Network channel (except CPTV or Children's PTV which is similar to CITV) would close transmission and although infomercials would run for 2 hours each night (straight after closedown). These are followed by a test pattern with background music which would be shown on screen until the start of the next day's transmission, although the music within this video is muted due to copyright restrictions.

Infomercials cannot be shown in the early hours of Good Friday, Easter Sunday or Christmas Day. This is due to the Broadcasting Act 1989 which states that no advertising can be shown on New Zealand television on those days. The test pattern will be shown just after closedown (in place of the infomercials).

This is the last few minutes of an iTread infomercial (courtesy of TV Shop/Brand Developers), followed by a test pattern featuring a photo of Ella Webster - aka Miss Victory Violet (photo courtesy of Liz Jury, one of the experienced pinup photographers in New Zealand) - a trained hairdresser and pinup model based in Auckland.

Already well known to members of the pinup community for her vintage looks, Ella was crowned Miss Pinup New Zealand 2014 and Miss Viva Las Vegas 2015 before moving to London in 2016. She has since returned to New Zealand.

PLEASE NOTE: The iTread infomercial was recorded at the time of transmission and some information contained may be expired. 

DISCLAIMER: Patrick Te Pou Enterprises Ltd (trading as PTV Network New Zealand) is a fictional broadcaster and will not broadcast to New Zealand, as it is fictitious and imaginary. This is also a mock closedown sequence using Movie Maker. Thank you for understanding.
