By Sky Sports they mean rolling back on content. That’s where savings are made.
Sorry, I don’t understand that. The Sky Cinema channels will suffer from a reduced volume of new films coming through, and as time goes on, its existing deals on older films will expire.

If Sky has fewer films to offer, then we can expect the number of film channels to decrease, and presumably, a reduction in the price of subscriptions.

But yes, for Sky, no good news here.

Well, they are looking to a future where eventually, the broadcast channels will be closed in favour of the streaming alternative. Another incentive for audiences to swap to streaming is to make whole series available as soon as the show lands on scheduled linear TV.

Why do you think they are doing this, SP?
