Warner Bros. Discovery has extended its content distribution relationship with Sky for the New Zealand market, making the Comcast-owned broadcaster and telecom company the continued home of HBO, Max, Warner Bros. and Discovery programming for New Zealand viewers.
The partners described the pact as a “multiyear” agreement, but Wbd also made clear that the deal does not preclude it from launching the Max streaming service in New Zealand. Financial details were not disclosed.
