Sky signs game deal

Sky Network Television has signed a three-year deal with an Australian company to provide interactive TV games in New Zealand.

The deal with Two Way TV Australia will see the games service launched by the end of this year.

The service will be similar to one running on pay-TV operators
Foxtel and Austar in Australia.

Sky will offer a subscription games channel with five games on offer. It will cost $5.95 a month and will be available to Sky's digital subscribers.
