Promotional Opportunities

American Samoan TV Music Channel after Kiwi Vids to play
My channel is called the "Island Music Channel." It's on channel 10 of the
cable system. All we do is play music videos all day. Mostly American Top40,
HipHop and Rock. But we also show the 70's, 80's and 90's era videos, too.
We just want to broaden our horizons as much as possible and we know that NZ
music scene is vibrant.
We just want to give the island a taste of what is happening in Kiwiland!
We use NTSC here in American Samoa. It would be fantastic if we could get
videos in that format, but I am sure I can find a way to convert from PAL
if that's our only choice.
