Im interested to know what NZ nix fans want out of their TV deal.
When I left Wellington 4 years ago, the knives were v much out for Sky sport and that it was a sinking ship.
Im aware alot has changed with its management style and options to watch content now.

Would nix fans want games still to be broadcast on Sky, or would we be happy for a cheaper alternative, something like a Paramount Plus, Spark sport, with perhaps a free to air game?
Spark would be my first choice, as I'm already subscribed for their other content and Sky carries very little that interests me. I'm lucky that I piggyback off a Sky account that the owner doesn't use SkyGo for though.

In my experience Sky streaming apps are pretty damn terrible (especially the new SkyGo one - I have no idea how you replace an app that was mostly functional with one that... isn't) and Spark Sport has been much, much better performing for me.

Think for most people the status quo would be the preference, but I would be ok with any of the 3 options presented.
