Maybe they've both realised that withholding channels benefits nobody.

They're competitors and not enemies. BT Sport has benefited BT and keeping Sky Atlantic priced out of its competitors' reaches has benefited Sky.

Given they have moved the 1st run of the final series to midnight you will have to keep an eye on late night schedules. I watch it on My5 (the on-demand service not the new channel) so that they know someone is watching it as I'm not in a BARB household. They are bound to repeat it at least once though, TV rights don't tend to get sold to broadcasters with option to show it just the once and they want to fully utilise what they paid for, even if it's late night/early morning.

The way that they are behaving towards each other I'd say that it's gone beyond normal competitiveness.

How about the True Crimes Section: How Hillary Lost 33,000 Classified Emails, got away with it and could end up as President.
