Are pitches in the Championship smaller? Wondering if they might make Dragusin's "long throw" viable

The Sky Sport price increases are a bummer for viewers. But Sky losing HBO Max content is brighter news for punters, who'll finally be able to see shows like White Lotus, The Last of Us & The Pitt in 4K as Max goes direct-to-consumer. Max's Aussie pricing (below) is very close to Sky's 4K-less Neon

Day to-day, I encounter HDMI cables and SIM card removal tools whenever I open a drawer. When I actually need one, can I find one? Of course not

Sky TV to lose HBO shows such as The Pitt; HBO to launch direct service for viewers Analysis: Sky puts on a brave face but losing HBO from its Neon platform is a major blow.

HBO Max is launching direct to consumer in NZ from mid-year.

Challenging for Sky. But as a viewer, will welcome 4K/HDR - though it'll come at a price

Joe Lewis’s grandson-in-law is now calling the shots at Spurs Little-known executive faces first big decision since family takeover of club with appointment of Thomas Frank’s successor

This seems sub-optimal. Nicholas III has much else on his plate as CEO of Taverstock, and a golf and gridiron background in the US

He seemed as happy as Larry, bar some 3G grief (see story link above). Steve was the founder of tech firm Tomizone. Do love a good career/lifestyle pivot

Great blast from the past to catch up with Steve Simms - who these days can be found as a beer baron at Birkenhead Brewing Company. Outside my patch, but seemed like a great neighbourhood pub with no screens, board games and an all-dogs-welcome inside policy www.nzherald.co.nz/business/com...

Do they have VAR in the Championship? Maybe that will be a silver lining of getting relegated
