(34,137 posts)4. It's its own company separate from the other SKY entities
For more than two exhilarating decades, weve taken an ambitious team of ten and built a courageous crew of over 1,000. Together were leading our customers to a world full of unique TV experiences every day. We love what we do, we put our decades of experience producing, curating and watching the world on screen to good use. The enjoyment we bring to New Zealand homes is an amazing thing. Were not a big corporate, were a collection of Kiwis doing what we love. As the nations premium provider of TV we create memorable and rewarding experiences and we deliver new content ideas, technologies and services to our shores. Well keep challenging ourselves to go above and beyond and make great things happen.

Sky Network Television Limited (branded as SKY) is a New Zealand pay television satellite TV provider. It is also a wholesale channel provider to New Zealand cable television provider Vodafone. On 31 December 2018, Sky had 750,321 subscribers across satellite and OTT services, making it the largest pay television platform in New Zealand. Despite the similarity of name and services, such as Sky Go and My Sky+ shared with its British equivalent, Sky, there is no connection between the companies.

with Trump in charge, I'm guessing CNN would be shut down for merely reporting the news.
