Sky Ventures enables us to align ourselves with strong consumer
brands such as Nickelodeon, Paramount, National Geographic and
The History Channel. Sky Ventures' channels are designed to give
us a presence in specific content areas. Nickelodeon, for example,
has been one of the country's leading children's channels since
its launch in 1993 and The History Channel and National Geographic
are at the forefront of their own factually-based genres. As a
partner we offer a number of high quality resources, including
advertising sales, cable distribution management, market research,
programming, marketing, creative services and management support
at board level.
Sky also has stakes in Sky News Australia (33%) and AuraSports (20%)
Sky Ventures is also continually exploring opportunities to
partner with content owners to extend the quality and reach of
programming for our customers.
