That's the 2nd summary I've read today and it only mentions ITV, despite it being a joint venture with the BBC.

Probably should read the full article now :D

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

As both HISTORY Play and Crime + Investigation Play have content from their linear channels (both of which are carried on VM) and VM already has HISTORY and Crime + Investigation content 'on demand' within the Box Sets service, I'm not sure we need yet another separate subscription app!

Depends what's on it and whether it's advert free.

AT&T have announced that they will launch one overall streaming service combining HBO with all other Warner content and merge their Direct TV service in with it too. Price somewhere between $15-18 per month.

It will probably be a couple of years at least before that launches in the UK, I would have thought.

Rakuten is to launch a new live streaming and VOD sports entertainment platform designed to deliver sports content to a global audience.

Its centrepiece is Japan’s J.League, popular within the target audience of Vietnam, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos and other countries in Southeast Asia.

Needs to be sooner Old Boy, Netflix is already too far in front.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Of com has agreed the changes requested by the BBC which will enable them to retain box sets on their i-Player for 12 months rather than 30 days. Good move, although ITV are not best pleased as this will restrict the availability of BBC material on Britbox, thus devaluing the platform.

Sky Launches European Production Hub Sky Studios, Plans To Double Spend On Originals

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

So much to those who thought they were cutting down on their spend.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

It won't fail as long as the big three are fully on board. This, and the increased time availability of box sets on the BBC i-Player, should free up a lot of space on our hard drives!

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

History tell us it will fail..

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I think what was said was that Sky do not spend enough on their original material and they needed to spend more to make up for the new stuff that was going to the streaming services.

It seems that Sky is acknowledging that.

Nothing is comparable, Den.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Following the carve up of UKTV and that BBC Studios have control of Gold and Drama, would this mean we'd see content from the two channels on iPlayer in the future?
