With Sky adding True Detective to Sky Showcase is a funny one.
I mean Sky Showcase is like a "best of" channel.
I would have think If True Detective is moving from Sky Atlantic
|
Isn't moving it's airing on Sky Atlantic aswell...., they showcase select HBO Originals and Select Sky Atlantic Originals on Sky Showcase in Germany, previously haven't done it before in the UK for obvious reasons....
What i can't work is how they can add it On Demand, when Sky Showcase doesn't have its own Demand section.

I don’t think Sky necessarily compartmentalise things in the same way.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
As well as E! and NBC News Now closing, Virgin are sending letters out saying that Lionsgate+ is closing on the 31st of January 2024.

Maybe Virgin's deal with Lionsgate+ ends on that date.
Sky will removed it when the owners of Lionsgate+ closes it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
I suspect Lionsgate + was ultimately unsuccessful because they were not adding enough new material.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
The beginning of the end for many streamers I suspect.
Merry Christmas, OB!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
No, AppleTV+ has been adding material regularly. I quite like the streamer.

It has some decent content with the Apple Originals, just not very much. I will easily be able to watch everything that interests me within my 3 month trial period. After that...

We know that next year, Lionsgate and Viaplay will go and that My5 and Pluto will merge.
AMC's Shudder is niche enough to survive (as are other niche operatiors like Mubi, BFI, etc) but its mainstream Acorn service is probably better off as part of Now TV or Discovery+ or bundled with subscription TV services.
Paramount is in a similar situation to Acorn. It has close ties to Sky so could end up being a membership level on Now and a tier on its owner's Pluto TV service.
It will be more interesting to see what WBD does with its HBO content - will it licence it exclusively to Sky as now? Will it keep it in-house and launch it via its Discovery + streamer? Or will it licence it to Sky and add it to its own streamer?
For the record, here's how much each leading streamer's parent company is valued at on the stock exchange. I'm pretty surprised at WBD and Comcast - I expected Disney to be ahead of Comcast and WBD to be worth a lot more.
Apple $3.00 trillion
Amazon $1.59 trillion
Netflix $214.98 billion
Comcast $176.82 billion
Walt Disney $166.47 billion
Warner Brothers Discovery $28.04 billion
Paramount $10.01 billion
AMC $1.21 billion
