With the exception of Now TV and a few smaller apps we have very little choice for Live TV after the main platforms. I'm thinking services like Sling TV , PlayStation Vue , Google TV , Hulu Live offering etc.

Apart from sports, fans, I'm not sure who really wants live TV. Catch up is available pretty soon after broadcast.
Hulu ATM are selling their own content to UK broadcasters or Netflix or Amazon. CBS online exclusive shows are treated the same way. I can't see Hulu or CBS launching internet services in the UK. Same for Showtime, HBO and AMC as they are tied to UK outlets on a show by show basis.
I think the subscriber rates to these services in the UK would be too low, so selling shows to current UK media outlets is the way it will stay for a long time.
