:( It's still officially in the "consultation process" stage, but it looks like the lights will be turned off on New Zealand's longest-surviving regional TV station, Channel 39, after 26 years on air.

Allied Press is considering plans to close the Dunedin-based station, which launched as a full service television station in 1997, under the name Channel 9 (following the closure of TVNZ's Horizon Pacific network and the Southern Television station).

Channel 9/39 has broadcast a wide range of community programming over the years, including local news and sport, events coverage, shopping shows, arts and lifestyle shows, music programming, children's programming, nature documentaries, and infamous student series COW TV.

The station's helped launch the media careers of a host of reporters, presenters, camera operators, editors, and technical staff, with many going on to great success at TVNZ, TV3, Sky TV, RNZ, and broadcasters overseas.

The current proposal would see the daily 20 minute South Island news bulletin cease, although some regional video news would continue under The South Today brand, via the ODT and regional websites. (Production house Allied Productions will also continue operating as normal).
