The announcement came just days after TVNZ boss Kevin Kenrick promised the state-owned broadcaster - which partnered with Spark on the 2019 Rugby World Cup and holds right for the next America's Cup - wanted to expand its stable of free-to-air sport.
Sky CEO Martin Stewart says all the Birmingham 2022 events live on multiple Sky Sport channels, streamed on Sky Go (free for Sky customers) and the no-contract Sky Sport Now app.
