Television Coverage


SkySport Live Television Coverage of Athletics

 

All SKY Sport subscribers will have access to five Olympic channels (SKY Sport channels 4-8). Those with either a MY SKY + or MY SKY HDi decoder with an HD access ticket and an HD-ready TV will have access to a further three channels.
However, anything LIVE featuring New Zealand team members will be on the first 5 channels (where at all possible). There is also a 24 hour Olympic News Channel which SKY subscribers will be able to see, along with a 12 channel mosaic channel.
During the day there will be replays of most sports across the channels, so within 24 hours, viewers will be able to view most things.
On free-to-air Prime, viewerswill have Olympic coverage for 23.5 hours per day including Crowd Goes Wild.
It will be the most Olympic coverage ever seen on free-to-air television in New Zealand.
The latest issue of SKYWATCH, has a lift-out of the full schedule of our Olympic coverage and details will also be available on the skysport.co.nz website.
A summary of all the Athletics coverage is available at the above link.
All of Prime’s coverage will also stream live, free-to-air on iSKY for all viewers in New Zealand (iSKY.co.nz).
