The broadcast agreement with England Netball covers all home England international Test matches. In addition to international and Superleague netball, Sky Sports Mix will air every game from the yearly Quad Series.<\/p>\n<p>Sky Sports Mix broadcasts a range of sports and is available to all Sky TV customers at no extra cost. In addition to netball and other women\u2019s sport, the new channel airs football, golf, darts and the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Barney Francis, Sky Sports\u2019 managing director, commented,\u00a0\u201cSky Sports is getting behind netball like never before. Over the past few years netball has been a huge hit with our viewers and it is fantastic that more people than ever before will be able to watch it on Mix. Sky is an unrivaled supporter of women in sport and we really recognize what an important time this is for women\u2019s sport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tracey Neville, coach of England Netball, said, &#8220;The four-year agreement builds on the previous success of Sky\u2019s coverage of the Vitality Netball Superleague, in which fans watched Surrey Storm lift the trophy last season in dramatic fashion. Viewers can look forward to following their local team in the Superleague with matches being shown regularly throughout the season, alongside exclusive coverage of the semi-finals and Grand Final. Sky\u2019s coverage begins on February 18.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>England Netball CEO Joanna Adams added, \u201cThe new agreement strengthens Sky Sports\u2019 unrivaled commitment to women\u2019s sport, which over the next 12 months will see Sky Sports show the Solheim Cup, all five golf majors, the cricket World Cup hosted in England, international rugby and equestrian. On top of live coverage of women\u2019s sport, the weekly\u00a0<em>Sportswomen<\/em>\u00a0show on SSNHQ is dedicated to covering news stories and features about women in sport.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: As part of an effort to increase its commitment to women\u2019s sport, Sky Sports has inked a new four-year broadcast deal for international and domestic netball games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":7239,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[372,333],"class_list":["post-7238","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-sky-sports","tag-sky-sports-mix"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sky Ups Women\u2019s Sport Coverage with New Netball Deal - TVEUROPE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/11\/28\/sky-ups-womens-sport-coverage-with-new-netball-broadcast-deal\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sky Ups Women\u2019s Sport Coverage with New Netball Deal - TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LONDON: As part of an effort to increase its commitment to women\u2019s sport, Sky Sports has inked a new four-year broadcast deal for international and domestic netball games.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/11\/28\/sky-ups-womens-sport-coverage-with-new-netball-broadcast-deal\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-11-28T18:37:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-11-28T19:05:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/11\/Netball-SkySports-1116.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"281\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/11\/28\/sky-ups-womens-sport-coverage-with-new-netball-broadcast-deal\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/11\/28\/sky-ups-womens-sport-coverage-with-new-netball-broadcast-deal\/\",\"name\":\"Sky Ups Women\u2019s Sport Coverage with New Netball Deal - TVEUROPE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-11-28T18:37:06+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-11-28T19:05:24+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/11\/28\/sky-ups-womens-sport-coverage-with-new-netball-broadcast-deal\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/11\/28\/sky-ups-womens-sport-coverage-with-new-netball-broadcast-deal\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/11\/28\/sky-ups-womens-sport-coverage-with-new-netball-broadcast-deal\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Sky Ups Women\u2019s Sport Coverage with New Netball Deal\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\",\"name\":\"TVEUROPE\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
