    Ah yes, populist policy at its finest! Thanks for the depressing reminder!

    To me that didn't read like an NZX release and more like a PR release.

    "We might have hit an iceberg but we'd like to reassure everyone that we have the most comfortable deck chairs in the fleet and everyone is working really hard to keep the G & T's topped up"

    Yes, very Titanic-esque. Captain Fellet reassures everyone, while heading for the nearest life boat.

    As long as TVNZ get it and its free to air we'll be OK (that's what the paper says)

    Interesting "vicious circle" playing out here.

    People complain Sky is too expensive/doesn't have what they want = less revenue. Sky then have less firepower to throw at content rights = less content. More people leave as the key content stops being on Sky = less revenue. And on the cycle goes.

    P.S My guess is Amazon. I doubt Fellet chose this moment to exit by accident!

    Even if Sky had managed to get the world cup,all the important games would have been on Prime( free to air).I had made my decision to flag Sky at the conclusion of the cricket,but might make it next week,as who wants to see a load of aussie cheats play!

    Fellett would not give up his $2m a year job too readily so yes, he saw the train coming and is happy to step out of the way for the mug taking over from him to take the hit and the blame.

    What a turkey.
