If you do not like the channels, that is of course your own choice, but there are those that do, and while you may be able to dismiss it easily, for others this is not the case. This is especially true considering Sky has the exlcusive rights to some programs, as well as showing a lot of programs unobtainable elsewhere.
I don't see what has happened as a good thing, and thus if it is a bad thing, and something the customers have no real influence over, surely having a third party take a look at the situation is a good thing?

Ah the fervour that a tv programme engenders...The misery I recall when Star Trek(the original) was cancelled.Puoff! just like that...No recource,no one to appeal to..my favourite programme was gone...
We only had two channels and the programmes available were poor when it came to the taste of teenagers and a SFer to boot...however I learned to deal with disappointment.I became a stronger person and as time went on I learned to live again.
Then of course through the power of pester power came the return of not only the ST films but MORE newer Star Trek.And more Star Trek...and more Star Trek and more Star Trek...And thus I learned a second lesson....That pester power can lead to big things but even more it can lead to over indulgance...and endless repeats.
Be very careful what you pester for.
