This is the first real sign that linear channels will be in decline in future years due to on demand viewing increasing in popularity and ultimately becoming dominant.

Having said that, I would be surprised if a last minute deal was not made on this occasion. Nonetheless, Sky's comment is significant.

Nice to see you pick out bit and pieces that you like OB.
