Sky TV is promising it won't shake the boat too soon after buying TV3 and ThreeNow - for a dollar. 

Warner Brothers Discovery has sold its Kiwi TV arm, including a range of linear and streaming channels. 

Sky TV says, for now, Sky Open will continue operations as normal and Three News will be kept at the six o'clock slot. 

Chief executive Sophie Moloney says they might even still negotiate with TVNZ on sports. 

"I think it's actually really important for the local media ecosystem that you do have two vibrant opportunities for sport partners and beyond."
