@Paekakboyz thing is, they have lost so many customers, it will take alot more to attract many of them back.
Need Spark to reveal thier pricing for the RWC.

On top of them playing both the cricket & netball world cup finals on Sky & the same CEO also announcing today some cash for the Silver Ferns, you've gotta say he's making a lot of the right moves. Fellett ended up treating Sky as his personal fiefdom, and expected his customers to stay anchored and be loyal for the sake of being loyal, rather than drive innovation himself.

I sent them an email asking them to disconnect me and they came back offering me three months of Sky Sport for free, so I guess I'll stay on for now.

problem is, may be seen as too little too late for many...plenty of people 'hate' sky and feel they have been 'ripped off' for many years and are loathe to give any more money to them...I know, nose, face.
For too long they have been a dinosaur blaming everyone else for thier declining numbers, without looking at thier platform, offerings or pricing.

Spark Sport partner with SKY to show Rugby World Cup 2019™ in commercial premises
Spark Sport and SKY announce that commercial premises that want to show Rugby World Cup 2019™ will be able to buy access to a Spark Sport pop-up channel on their SKY decoder. This is in addition to Spark Sport’s existing offer to commercial customers to stream Rugby World Cup matches from the Spark Sport app over their broadband connection.
As announced in April, commercial customers can purchase a Spark Sport Rugby World Cup Tournament Pass at the consumer price through sparksport.co.nz/rwc2019. This option gives both consumer and commercial customers access to all 48 matches live and on demand, plus access to a range of highlights and archive matches.
Additionally, from today, SKY commercial customers can buy access to a Spark Sport RWC pop-up channel through SKY, which includes all 48 matches live. Commercial customers can access the pop-up channel for a one-off cost at commercial rates. Rates are confidential but reflect the quality and scale of the event.
Under the terms of the partnership, Spark will cover the costs of SKY establishing the pop-up channel and will receive all related revenue from SKY commercial customers.
David Chalmers, Executive Lead for Spark Sport, explains, “After testing in a wide range of commercial environments, we are confident in the Spark Sport streaming service that we are making available for commercial premises. But we also wanted to provide an alternative option for venues that would prefer to use their existing infrastructure, particularly for those locations without streaming-ready broadband connectivity.
“This partnership with SKY means that commercial businesses which already have SKY set up in their premises have options for how they screen the tournament, to ensure that as many commercial premises around New Zealand as possible can show the Rugby World Cup in its entirety.”
Sophie Moloney, SKY’s Strategic Partnerships lead, said that “Watching the Rugby World Cup is a special activity for many New Zealanders, and a big part of the sports calendar for pubs and clubs throughout the country. We are pleased to be able to work together with Spark to deliver this alternative access option for our commercial customers, including those in rural areas who don’t yet have access to fast enough broadband.”

@Bovidae that is a really savvy and pragmatic approach. Can imagine no publican wants to be faffing about with their stream feed and login when there are thirsty punters to serve! Let alone having more reliable access to the game.
Hmm wonder if more people will watch at the pub rather than getting a spark subscription??
