Sommet Sports
CountryNew Zealand

Sommet Sports is an upcoming sports-oriented television channel operated in New Zealand. It offers a varied range of sporting events, some of which had never been screened in New Zealand. According to their website "Our channel will only work with Freeview Approved Terrestrial Product (it requires MHEG5)" suggested that it would be available via a MHEG-5 application that will use the built-in internet capabilities of terrestrial H.264 receivers, however the SMPTE color bars test card is being provided as a standard H.264 DVB video channel at 1.2 Mbps with stereo AAC at 64 kbps.

It features sports that the rights to have not yet been acquired by SKY TV, including AFL, Association football with the Npower Championship, UEFA Europa League, Capital One Cup and Bundesliga, cycling such as the Giro d'Italia race, track and field with the IAAF Diamond League and professional wrestling with TNA Impact Wrestling. Also world snooker, the New York and Melbourne marathons, San Francisco's Escape from Alcatraz triathlon, kickboxing, extreme sports and others.[1]

Sommet Sports will use on screen popup overlay banner advertisements designed to minimize disrupting events with commercial breaks.[1]
