Radio Kuka
''Radio Kuka'' is a mockumentary style, reality TV spin-off from the show ''Deane Waretini: Now is the hour'' created by NZ based production company, Scotty Productions. On 7 November 2014, Radio Kuka aired its pilot for audiences of Māori Television with pleasing critical review. ''Radio Kuka'' is produced by Orlando Stewart, who also stars in the pilot as a self-titled, clumsy Pākeha insensitive to the Māori language objective of the Avondale-based AM radio station. He is well known for similar antics featured in a similar styled show about Deane Waretini (aired in 2012) who rose to fame in 1981 with the Māori language hit "The Bridge".

Māori Language
Māori (), or ('the Māori language'), also known as ('the language'), is an Eastern Polynesian language spoken by the Māori people, the indigenous population of mainland New Zealand. Closely related to Cook Islands Māori, Tuamotuan, and Tahitian, it gained recognition as one of New Zealand's official languages in 1987. The number of speakers of the language has declined sharply since 1945, but a Māori-language revitalisation effort has slowed the decline. The 2018 New Zealand census reported that about 186,000 people, or 4.0% of the New Zealand population, could hold a conversation in Māori about everyday things. , 55% of Māori adults reported some knowledge of the language; of these, 64% use Māori at home and around 50,000 people can speak the language "very well" or "well". The Māori language did not have an indigenous writing system. Missionaries arriving from about 1814, such as Thomas Kendall, learned to speak Māori, and introduced the Latin alphabet. In 1 ...
