 NEWS FROM THE STANDARD
Murdoch and His Satellites: A Brief History
May 21 2001 08:57 AM PDT

 PROFILE
Sky Network Television turns Kiwis into couch potatoes. As New Zealand's dominant pay TV provider, it broadcasts via UHF, including SKY Movies, CNN, and the 24-hour SKY Sport, and using digital direct broadcast satellite (DBS), which carries other channels including CNBC, ESPN, and TNT. With its UHF signals covering about 75% of New Zealand's homes and its DBS transmissions reaching the rest, Sky has more than 375,000 subscribers with more than 160,000 digital subscribers. Sky hopes to shift all its viewers to the DBS service and use its UHF network as an ISP or free-to-air channel. Independent Newspapers, 50%-owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, controls about 50% of Sky Network Television.
