Summer Reissue: Sky CEO Sophie Moloney on the NZ rugby and Three deals and the depth of its moat
The Fold is taking a break over summer. We’ll be back soon with new episodes but, until then, here’s one of our favourites from 2025:
Sophie Moloney has been CEO of Sky NZ for five years. For much of that time she’s been dealing with downsides – a failed acquisition of MediaWorks, Spark Sports gifting their rights to TVNZ and prolonged satellite issues. But lately, things have been looking up. They successfully brought NZ Cricket rights back, scooped up Three’s assets for $1, and just last week lengthened their rugby deal under very buyer-friendly terms. She joins Duncan Greive on the Fold to dig into all those issues and more.
