ITV to launch pay-TV drama channel on Sky
Quote:
ITV is to launch a pay-TV channel on Sky showcasing the "best of British drama", its first major return to pay-TV since the collapse of ITV Digital more than a decade ago.
The channel, ITV Encore, will be a home to some of the broadcaster's recent successful dramas, such as Vera and Lucan.
From next year ITV will also populate the channel with original commissions.
The move is chief executive Adam Crozier's biggest to date in a strategy to diversify the broadcaster's revenues away from an overwhelming dependence on free-to-air advertising.

One suspects a deal between Virgin and ITV will follow in due course.

Not so much a pessimist Den, more of a realist I fear.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
BSkyB profits hit by cost of Premier League deal
http://www.theguardian.com/media/201...er-league-deal
Quote:
Darroch also addressed the issue of bidding for the next three-year Premier League TV rights deal, which is expected to kick off later this year.
BSkyB was forced to pay £2.3bn to stop BT from securing the lion's share of matches in the existing deal, a 40% increase, and with further inflation a certainty in the next auction Darroch warned that there is a limit to how much rights are worth.
