Sky wont give a toss. they will probably offer less than they currently are paying.

Good thing there are other broadcasting options now. 

BeIN sports tweeted about our licence extension, which I found interesting coupled with Robs talk of digital options during the press conference. I could see someone like them buying the rights, then on selling some games to a FTA channel, and broadcasting the rest over the Internet much like PLP have done. 

Lightbox sport could also be a good partner for that. They could pick up rights relatively cheap (compared to other sports), and would have a vested interest in promoting and growing the product within NZ (as opposed to sky who clearly couldn't care less - and fair enough too, they have other products they're more invested in).
