TVNZ Duke (formerly Duke) is a New Zealand television channel run by state broadcaster Television New Zealand. It screens programming targeted at a male audience.[1] It was launched on 20 March 2016 to replace TVNZ's popup channel that was used to air Wimbledon.[2] Initially advertised as a male-skewed channel, this branding was later dropped.[3]

Its programming includes comedy, drama, documentaries, movies and sport. It operates between the hours of 6pm and midnight, and occasionally screens live sport events outside of these hours.[2] The channel is available on Freeview channel 13 and channel 23 on Sky. Some programming is also available on TVNZ OnDemand.
