    Television in New Zealand was introduced in 1960. Provision was first made for the licensing of private radio and television stations in New Zealand by the Broadcasting Act 1976.
    In New Zealand, in addition to a legacy analogue network, there are three forms of broadcast digital television. Satellite services provided nationwide by both Freeview and Sky, terrestrial DVB-T service provided in the main centres by Freeview and Igloo, and cable service available in Wellington and Christchurch from TelstraClear.
    The first nationwide digital TV service was launched in December 1998 by SKY TV, who had a monopoly on digital satellite TV until the launch of Freeview's nationwide digital satellite service in May 2007. The Freeview digital terrestrial television service launched on 14 April 2008. A pay digital terrestrial service was launched in 2012 by Igloo. This is a joint venture between Sky and TVNZ and provides Freeview UHF aerial channels along with 11 Sky channels. Digital cable television currently operates in Wellington and Christchurch on TelstraClear's cable TV system. High definition programming is available from Freeview and Igloo on terrestrial and on SKY TV through the MY SKY HDi decoder.
    Digital television transition in New Zealand began on 30 September 2012, when Hawke's Bay and the West Coast (including parts of Tasman) switched off analogue television transmission. The remainder of the country will switch off analogue television in stages during 2013.
