CRY TV was New Zealand's first dedicated music television channel, broadcasting on UHF 56 from the Port Hills above Christchurch between July 1993 and April 1997. Founded by Christian Birch and Chris Clarkson, it pre-dated Auckland's MAX TV by three months and launched the careers of Petra Bagust, Jason Fa'afoi, Francesca Rudkin, D'Arcy Waldegrave, and Dave Yetton (Jean-Paul Sartre Experience), who met Jason Fa'afoi at the station and went on to form The Stereo Bus.

Brilliant 90's Christchurch sludge-rock outfit comprised of Brett Lupton, Daryl Kirk and Mike Brassell (Hiss Explosion). Took a thoroughly DIY, low-budget approach to release a series of warped, discordant guitar albums, based around excellent guitar-work and an inventive, lo-fi and somewhat sloppy (in a good way) approach to recording songs.
