TV ONE has today advised SKY Network Television Ltd of its
intention to withdraw the rights to replay One Network News
and Holmes.
General Manager of TV ONE, Shaun Brown, says
the action has been taken in light of the new commercial
alliance between CanWest and Sky.
“It does not seem
appropriate to continue to supply SKY with our programming
any longer,” he says.
Mr Brown says now that TV ONE
broadcasts five hours of live news and current affairs
around the clock each weekday, there is more viewer access
to news coverage than ever
before.
If you're using Scoop for work, your organisation needs to pay a small license fee with Scoop Pro. We think that's fair, because your organisation is benefiting from using our news resources. In return, we'll also give your team access to pro news tools and keep Scoop free for personal use, because public access to news is important!
