Prime’s 91.3% coverage combined with SKY’s nationwide satellite coverage makes Prime’s signal available to all New Zealand households.

Prime’s programming offer comprises news, sport, entertainment, drama, documentary, comedy and lifestyle. Prime is committed to building its New Zealand content. This is particularly evident in the network’s news offering, Prime News: First at 5:30 as well as locally produced programmes such as Crowd Goes Wild.

On 8 February 2006, SKY completed the purchase of the New Zealand television business of Prime Television New Zealand Ltd. The acquisition of a free-to-air channel gives SKY the opportunity to showcase its channels and programmes whilst ensuring that New Zealand consumers can view delayed free-to-air sports programmes such as rugby, rugby league and cricket.
