Sophie Moloney: Sky TV chief executive on Sky winning NRL and Warriors rights in new broadcast deal

from Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive · host Newstalk ZB

Has a second NRL team in New Zealand edged closer to a reality after the NRL's new multi-billion dollar broadcast deal? The Australian Rugby League Commission has signed a new seven-year TV rights deal with its existing partners on both sides of the Tasman, including Sky TV, starting in 2028. The NRL wants to increase to 20 teams during that period, with Christchurch considered a candidate for an expansion licence. Sky TV boss Sophie Moloney has been asked what the new deal means to that end. "That's definitely one for the commission - that wasn't determinist of our values, we've valued it up based on what we've got and we love our Warriors."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
