  Te Reo (English: "the language") is a New Zealand TV station broadcasting programmes exclusively in the Māori language (Te Reo Māori) with no advertising or subtitles. It also broadcasts special tribal programming and offers particular focus on new programming for the fluent audience.
  
  The channel initially broadcast for three hours a day, seven days a week, during the prime time hours of 8:00pm to 11:00pm from Friday 28 March 2008 on Freeview Satellite. It was later added for Sky/Vodafone subscribers.
