Some sprinkles of optimism in there, theone, but I think (maybe with the possible exception of Freesports) any developments are a way off yet, if they ever materialise.

FreeSports is a must.

HISTORY HD, Crime+Investigation HD, E! HD and MTV Classic should all be the priority after that as they are on BT as well as Sky.

Blame that on their flawed strategy of thinking its exclusivity could rival Sky Atlantic whilst not appearing on all platforms as that was a failed non starter from the start.

ITV Encore was meant to be exclusive only for an initial period of broadcasting under the deal with Sky.

Most definitely unless they subsidise it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 
Very few people will choose a tv provider purely for one channel. Which makes me laugh BT think AMC will get people based on that. Also makes me laugh sky think having Atlantic will get people to sky alone

People choose their provider best on

Price
Deals
Familiarity

Instead all BT and sky are doing are robbing themselves of advertisement money but they’re in far too deep now they probably feel they’d appear weak accepting the figure from VM they’ve probably rejected 8 billion times

If you want game of thrones that badly there are so many other ways to get it.... silly sky !
