This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Calum Henderson (29 June 2017). "From Butt-head to Bravo: Happy 20th birthday to New Zealand's fourth TV channel". The Spinoff. Retrieved 30 June 2017. The channel's final moments are described with surprising poignancy on Wikipedia: "At 10:50pm on Saturday 2 July 2016, [FOUR] closed with Feist singing '1,2,3,4' (the same Sesame Street song that was used to relaunch the channel in 2011); the channel then faded to black. The final show to play on FOUR was The Biggest Loser."

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved. (closed by a page mover) (non-admin closure). Anarchyte (work | talk) 06:44, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Four (New Zealand) → Bravo (New Zealand) – The page was created in error when the channel was thought to be a new one. However it is only a re-brand of this one. helmboy 00:11, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral. Comment. A move happened as this RM was ongoing, the mover possibly meant Bravo (New Zealand TV channel). — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 00:48, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral. Comment. The mover didn't follow closing procedure and changed it to match his existing article. Will revert until a working schedule is known during July. 119.224.39.131 (talk) 03:08, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support. May as well stick with the move now that it's happened, even if it was slightly premature. Looking at Category:New Zealand television channels it appears that disambiguating with just the country is standard practice. Jenks24 (talk) 04:34, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Moving this article back to Four (New Zealand) and creating a new article here

I propose moving this article back to Four (New Zealand) and creating a new article here. Bravo is an international franchise that MediaWorks has produced a local version of to replace Four; Four has not just been renamed Bravo. It should thus (IMO) be considered a separate entity. Precedents exist: when TVNZ 6 was replaced by U (TV channel), TVNZ 6 was not moved to U (TV channel), a new article was created. Ollieinc (talk) 10:10, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that would be cleaner than the current situation. Four is a former NZ TV channel, which has been replaced by Bravo, and it is appropriate to have an article on each.-gadfium 19:28, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
