Cry TV was a regional music television station broadcast in Christchurch, New Zealand, between 1993 and 1997.
It broadcast on UHF channel 56 using a 100 Watt transmitter from a shed on Marleys Hill, on the Port Hills, near the Sugarloaf Transmitter. It was started by Christian Birch and Chris Clarkson. Test transmissions consisted of a camera looking at an aquarium 24 hours a day for approximately 1 month during July and August 1993. When the station started regular transmissions, the aquarium was aired during its downtime.[1]
The channel was notable for the launch of the careers of Petra Bagust[2][3] and Jason Fa'afoi. Cry TV closed in April 1997, two months before TVNZ launched MTV.
