However I agree that unfortunately Sky have invested heavily in the content and therefore hold all the cards This strategy doesn't seem to be having any adverse impact on turnover as people keep paying year on year. When people stop paying for the premium content Sky will invest in something else and retain the rights to that..whatever it may be. Until then they know the content they have is in high demand and therefore has a price, which they are free to set. In the meantime they have played a blinder with NowTV. A few years ago Sky were making no money from me, the cost of movies on VM was too much and I gave up my sports subs. Now I am paying them for movies every few months and throw then £15 each year Game of Thrones starts. |

To the best of my knowledge, the cable companies have never deliberately kept any channels to themselves on an exclusive basis. We have only had a few minor channels that were on cable only, but don't forget that Sky were very short of transponder space at one point - so why would they have even wanted to air 'Wire TV' or the like? |

It may not be very significant, but highlighting the greed of shareholders, in media companies that choose restrictive (in terms of viewership reach) exclusive deals with single companies as against wider distribution, can't do any harm and can have an on-going influence. Using the maximising of shareholder profit as an excuse, doesn't help the cause at all. Sadly, it is illegal downloading that will have the most influence on these companies and make them change, as was the case with the music industry. |

Tricky using hypothetical situations re multiple platforms when it's 'exclusive to sky' ;) btw, I agree with you on the viewing figures, but AFAIK that scenario is not a valid one. |
