The point is that Sky have the money to be able to outbid any other channel if they want to. However, as has already been said, their strategy seems to be that they see how shows perform on other channels then, if they're a big hit, they'll swoop in with a bigger wad of cash and, essentially, nick the show.

Unfortunately in business Carl that's life , the highest bidder wins. It's like Wigan Athletic having a player since he was 8 and nurturing him through to the first team only for him to become a massive star and be bought by the likes of Chelsea and United.
