Yes, but this is between pay channels. UKTV were repeating programmes that were being shown through their pay channels on their FTA channels, which is unacceptable.

That's what I meant. Sky routinely show programming between Pick and Sky One, Real Lives etc.

Discovery have even been known to show a series on one of their FTA channels first and then repeat it on a pay channel!

Re: BBC considers bid for the rest of UKTV
 

As far as I am aware, Pick shows only those programmes that have already been shown on the pay Sky channels, generally about 2 or more years previously.

I have not noticed Discovery doing that, but then again I don't keep track so much of their channels these days.

To be honest, I do wonder what the schedulers are thinking sometimes.
