Triangle TV celebrates 10 years

To celebrate 10 years of broadcasting in Auckland this August, Triangle TV are planning to plant thousands of pohutukawa trees near Home Bay on Motutapu Island in the Hauraki Gulf.

Triangle CEO Jim Blackman says he is proud to spearhead a gift of 2000 pohutukawas to the people of Auckland. "The Triangle Television trees will provide shade and beauty for future generations of visitors and campers on Motutapu and, once again, in the height of summer, Home Bay will abound with crimson."

"Instead of the typical social function we decided to give back to the community that has supported us so well over the years," he says.

The whole of Motutapu island is undergoing a long-term regeneration process thanks to the efforts ofthe Department of Conservation, Motutapu Restoration Trust, and volunteers andsupporters – including Triangle TV.

Everyone is invited to support the project with a donation of $50 – the cost of buying, planting and maintaining a pohutukawa tree.

Triangle also operate the digital channel Stratos on Freeview and Sky.
