New Zealand TV

Except that, if a scheduling conflict were to occur, you might find a non-rugby program on Sky Sport 1. No way would that happen in Australia or with Sky UK’s model either.

Who has the NZ rights for the Olympics, while I’m thinking about it?

OnAir · July 25, 2019, 8:02am

Sky does, with FTA content on Prime.

AustralianAerial · July 25, 2019, 8:56am

Cheers. Guessing 1, 2, 6 & 7 is where some of their coverage will end up too.

OnAir · July 25, 2019, 9:01am

Yeah, I suspect you’re right. Last time from memory everything Sky Sport 4 and above was Olympics, with about 10-12 pop ups

bacco007 · July 30, 2019, 11:35am

Is there anything to be read into Spark doing a deal with sky for venue retransmission of the Rugby World cup?

OnAir · July 30, 2019, 11:47am

Just our shitty internet - especially in rural areas.

I’d be surprised if they partnered up again in the short term.

bacco007 · July 30, 2019, 10:40pm

Yeah

OnAir · July 30, 2019, 10:49pm

I reckon it’s not too bad to be honest.

Jeffmister · July 31, 2019, 5:55am

Yeah, it’s expensive in comparison to sports packages in Australia. However, the pricing is okayish considering Sky Sport is/will be anywhere between $40 - $58 per month (depending on whether you access it via the upcoming ‘Sky Sport Now’ service or a STB)

bacco007 · July 31, 2019, 6:21am

In comparison to other sports packages it’s not bad, but I was surprised at how different it is to our pricing

OnAir · July 31, 2019, 6:55am

Yep. I think most people had been braced for a 99.95 price (part of me thinks Spark planted that price in the market so when it was revealed as lower they looked like the good guys).

Population hurts big time.

theGradyConnell · August 3, 2019, 5:47am

Only noticed today that The Kick off has its own set

damian · August 7, 2019, 12:20pm

What’s does sky sports news look like? Mediocre?

OnAir · August 7, 2019, 7:22pm

It’s just international content until the start of September.

OnAir · August 7, 2019, 10:28pm

Can’t remember if it was this thread we were discussing it in or not but Millionaire Hotseat replaces Love Island UK on Three after it finishes next week.

Ah thanks, seen their logo on the website. How retro.
