NRL NRL on Sky

[Inruin]

Sky has increased again . I’m going to stop it post NRL season and start again in March - just on principle

I just have spoets on skynow. I load the black Friday deal code each year and get the discounted annual pass.

The same code each year or a new code?

New code, just keep an eye out for it on black Friday and load it under subscription so when it renews you pick.it up

You know that Sky now owns three, right?

There's a reason for that.

Got it in a firesafe.

TVNZ are taking their first steps into PPV soon with the Football world cup game pass.

That's part of it.

Alot of big ticket items (Olympics.. etc) want a free to air component to their content. More eyes on the product.

I wouldn't be surprised if part of the NRLs broadcasting aspirations for NZ would be a free to air component. Thus, three might end up playing same role as channel nine in Aus.

Sky already had Prime as Free To Air.

Speaking of free to air, remember when the Warriors games used to be on TV3 (I think it was live in the 90s, with ad breaks)?

And then later on Prime (delayed).

I don't think I could have followed the Warriors and Black Caps as a kid if I wasn't able to watch them on free to air TV. My two favourite NZ sports teams to follow to this day.

Hard out.

They need to bring those games back.

Yeah my first introduction to the warriors was Graeme Hughes yelling “Odell Manuel!” on Sunday afternoons on 3. Think downtown Clint Brown did the pre and post match. They usually lost.

But that was the thing, you turned on the tv, 3 things to pick from, a warriors game looked super exciting in that environment.

Now if a kid turns on the tv, straight to a streaming service or YouTube

Just had a look and I can't see where you can apply discount anymore so be interesting to see if they have the same deal this year.
