Max TV (New Zealand)

Max TV was a New Zealand music channel available over the air in Auckland from October 1993 to December 1997.

On May 20, 1997, the channel broadcast the music video to Iggy Pop's song Pussy Walk. Local feminist group Women Against Pornography considered the music video "offensive and insulting to women".[1]

On December 2, 1997, Television New Zealand announced that the channel would close down on the following day.[2]
