LOL what else can TVNZ loose now???? Are they going to sell their 6pm news to triangle tv?!!!!
But seriously i think its good to get a fresh prospective on things – its been with tvnz for so long!
And its not like there will be less coverage because SKY will have to broadcast the majority of their olympic coverage on PRIME – thats the rules they have to follow?
In fact we may get better coverage becuase its not like PRIME has anything else to show during the day!

John Fellet, CE of Sky, said “…all major Olympic events, plus those of national importance, will feature prominently in our free-to-air coverage…”

SKY says that all major events will be broadcast on PRIME and that SKY could have up to 6 dedicated digital channels broadcasting the games.

Sounds good then, good one SKY and Prime, congratulations. TVNZ is getting too comfortable with everything, they don’t do anything new or special with their coverage year after year. They had started to get better with HD next year but too little too late. This will be huge for Prime.
Free to air TV – a few cans short of a 2 pack
