Оңтүстік Телеарнасының жабылуы: Тарихы мен себептері

Channel 39, also known as Southern Television (and formerly Dunedin Television and Channel 9), was a regional television station operating in Dunedin, New Zealand. The channel was a division of Allied Press, who also publish the local daily newspaper Otago Daily Times. In December 2023, it was announced that Channel 39 would close by Christmas 2023.

Channel 39 first commenced transmission in 1995 as a tourism station. In 1997 the station was expanded into a news carrying local station called Channel 9. In 2003, the channel underwent a reorientation of strategy to focus on local news and became a division of Allied Press. In March 2013, Channel 9 was rebranded as Dunedin Television when New Zealand switched to digital television. In addition, the channel's broadcast channel was changed to Freeview HD Channel 39. The station's chief executive Daryl Clarkson said that company had chosen the name Channel 39 "because it included the number nine and would hold the heritage of Channel 9." Channel 39 also entered into partnerships with local organisations including the Dunedin City Council. On 1 September 2016, Channel 39 extended its coverage to include Invercargill and adopted the name "Southern Television." On 13 December 2023, Stuff reported that Channel 39 would be closed by Christmas 2023 due to declining funding from New Zealand on Air, low viewership figures for its flagship programme The South Today, rising costs, and diminishing advertiser support. In early December 2023, Channel 39 ceased broadcasting its Invercargill television transmission. On 14 December, the Otago Daily Times reported that Allied Press had started a proposal to close Channel 39 by 22 December. Allied Press confirmed that The South Today brand would continue on the Otago Daily Times website and YouTube. The mobile unit is fitted out as a purpose built portable studio complete with digital video mixer, graphics capability, sound and editing facilities. It can also accommodate up to six cameras, and be run single handed or with multiple crews. The unit can be powered by 240 volts or run from its own self contained power supply for maximum flexibility.

The South Today is a half hour live television news that is broadcast daily at 5:30pm, with repeat transmissions at 7pm and 9:30pm. The programme is funded by New Zealand On Air. By December 2023, Stuff reported that The South Today was reporting low viewership figures of a few hundred for vieos on its YouTube channel.

Channel 39's sports programme covers a range of sporting activities including rugby, football, ice hockey, cricket, motorsports cars and bikes.

Southern Attractions is a tourism programme aimed at visitors to Dunedin and the surrounding region. It runs from 7.39am to 10am, 3pm to 4pm, and from 6pm to 7pm on weekdays. It also runs at various times over the weekends.
