They are now $19.17 worse off from me.
+$3 for sport and -$22.17 for entertainment that I would have otherwise kept if they hadn't increased sport
clever. Save the $20 that you will have use to pay for more streaming services when Sky's revenue drops to the point they get outbid for stuff you want.
Care factor zero. If thats the way they want to run their business, I will adapt to other mediums

Yes it is if they decreased sport cost when they lost PL and Cricket? To me they are getting back to what they had. It isn't an improvement.
I doubt any of the platforms decrease their subs if they lose content. Do you think Spark will now they have lost the EPL rights?
My biggest problem with Sky is that they have never unbundled their packages so we have plans allowing you to only pay for the channels you want to watch. There are plenty of channels I have never watched, and never will. I'm sure they have done the sums and know this option will decrease revenue.

Of course they don't. Doesn't mean I need to happily oblige to pay more for a service that isn't as good as it used to be.
As I said, it was a small Fuck You to them, from me.

Sky Television could sell its loss-making RugbyPass rugby news site to World Rugby as part of negotiations with the rugby body, it is understood.
Sky announced on Monday evening that it was in âadvanced discussionsâ with World Rugby over a wide-ranging deal that would see it secure the rights to screen World Rugbyâs premium competitions, including the menâs 2023 Rugby World Cup, âover multiple yearsâ.
Good, because Spark Sport is terrible.
Former chief executive Martin Stewart said in 2019 that the acquisition would let Sky âreach beyond New Zealand borders and open up significant opportunities for the company and its partnersâ.
But Sky wrote down the book value of goodwill in the business by $27.5m to $11m in the wake of the Covid pandemic and last year agreed to sell the streaming business of RugbyPass to Premier Sports for $813,000.Didn't know that.
RugbyPass still offers news, views and statistics about the game, including a system that ranks players and teams, with some of its content behind a paywall for which it charges subscribers US$1.99 month.
Their "news" is avarage, their stats are unreliable and their ranking system is a joke.

@Stargazer For a NZ âownedâ business their ânewsâ is pretty anti NZ a lot of the time.

@Nepia its the justin marshall approach, they feel the only way they'll be taken seriously is if they make it completely and painfully obviously they are not bias...to the point of becoming ludacris
also explains the waffling gibberish on the rare occurrence they do have to side with the AB's

How many of their contributors are Kiwis though? I only read some of their articles (those that are posted here) but I don't recognise the names of the main "journalists". They are likely based all over the world.
