So it's not like the fans of the show who can't get Sky will ever actually get a chance to see the show, even if it was next year.

Good point Carl. Things like Sons of anarchy first aired on a pay TV channel (Bravo I think) and then, later, got shown on five USA. The first season of Heroes was shown on Syfy and then on BBC.

This doesn't happen with Sky shows. As Sky now own Bravo shows, I gues Freview users won't get to see Sons of anarchy, unless it was part of the original deal.

Yet more evidence of nasty, evil, money grabbing Sky. (That bit just for Muppetman )
