If you are talking about Sky Atlantic, Den, that has been explained on a number of occasions. Let's not go back there.

Lionsgate to Expand Starzplay on Virgin Media in U.K.
https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/lio...uk-1203023832/
Quote:
The company made the announcement on Thursday following a better than-expected earnings report for the second quarter that ended on Sept. 30, driven by a gain of 1.3 million domestic Starz subscribers. Virgin TV customers in the U.K. will have the opportunity to watch Starz series all in one place, with future shows premiering on the same day as in the U.S., including Season 2 of J.K. Simmons’ “Counterpart,” which debut on Dec. 9.

There is no announcement yet about Disney pulling their stuff from our Netflix, so lets hope it stays like that for as long as possible.

Malone does, yes, via a direct stake and indirect stake through Discovery.
I had thought by now that VM would've launched their own HBO type channel stuffed with Starz and Lionsgate content, but it never happened, apart from a bit of stuff on VOD.

Because the agreements that Disney has with the various pay tv platforms are still running. When they expire, lets see what happens then.
Look, Netflix has come along and built up a platform from nothing, which now threatens the traditional Hollywood companies. Either the cos adapt,or die. They have no choice but to go down the streaming route and compete head on with Netflix, if they don't, they'll be out of business.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Hulu Live has announced it is going global. Something else to ponder when it's time to review subscriptions when it arrives in the UK!
This is what Hulu Live has to offer. The cloud recordingvarrangements are interesting.

This is the news item about Hulu Live going global.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
ITV is looking for a partner to help launch a new SVOD service, which will rely on archived material initially.
Personally, I doubt that this will be successful, and despite the doubts expressed in this report, I think a joint endeavour with the BBC and Channel 4 is much more likely to succeed. It will never be able to compete with Netflix on equal terms, however, that's just laughable!

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
An article, in today's Telegraph, about the proposed new 5 year EFL tv deal states "while Morris (Derby chairman) is an advocate of live streaming, which many analysts believe is running into problems with subscription fatigue (comments OB?) inertia and confusion among consumers"
Derby, Leeds and Villa are among the opponents of the new deal.
There is a possibility of a Premier League 2 breakaway - one wonders if this would end up with a ring fenced top 40 teams?

As far as sports is concerned, I agree. When you consider what people are paying out for Sky Sports and BT, it's a wonder really that newcomers can get a look in when it comes to sports streaming.
This will find its own level eventually - but with so much being paid out for Premiership football, I can't see us being flooded with new subscription based sports streaming services in the future. However, existing sports broadcast channels will be 'streaming only' in the years to come. People generally will subscribe to the sport(s) they most enjoy, but if the other services are too expensive, they will leave them alone.
It should not be forgotten, however, that some streaming services will be supported by unskippable commercials, although most would offer an ad-free subscription option.
Most of the additional mainstream on demand/streaming services we will be getting in the future will be those showing particular genres of programming, such as scripted series/films, wildlife and documentaries, music, news and reality shows. General entertainment will probably be left mainly to a new streaming service provided by BBC, ITV, Channel 4 (and maybe) Channel 5; and the new Sky streaming service that will replace or emulate the Sky Q functionality. I think we will also see more social media sites developing over time.
Having said that, I think we can expect to see many more UK-based minor streaming and video on demand services popping up showing old and cheaper content. Roku demonstrates to us just how these could proliferate, although most of the content is pretty low grade stuff.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Now, now. This is going to be a vibrant future of low price streaming services offering high quality content at much lower cost than we pay now!
