Don't worry you've always got the British Broadcasting Corporation. Until the licence fee goes, then you can expect the same crap everywhere.

Its not just broadcasting, we're allowing American big business to take over many aspects of our corporate, cultural and sporting economy, with nearly all takeovers being unmitigated disasters for consumers and fans, but that's a subject for a completely different thread.

I’ve started buying 4K Blu rays and feel so much better actually holding something for my money. I can watch it when I want and I can share it with my family.

That cuts both ways. Your ability to sell your content is dented if potential distributors start to doubt you’ll actually deliver what you say you will.

It’s also unlikely ITV would just accept an initial offer, because the producer’s interest is in minimising its financial exposure whilst the distributor’s interest is in talking up how much it could have made by selling the rights on. Sure, it might not get to court, but it would result in lawyers. Lots of lawyers. Much simpler for the producer to negotiate a delay releasing the rights to ITV rather than actually trying to withdraw them.

Shows have moved though including shows in development and the latest season of Judy Justice is on both Prime Video and Freevee, a new spin Bosch spin off was ordered back in November despite Bosch: Legacy airing on Freevee.

In other Amazon news Lionsgate+ continues via Prime Video Channels for 'a bit longer' after 29th February which is strange.
