That could be quite some time; for all the hype, Sky Atlantic draws rather small audiences ... since launch it has barely managed to maintain around 700,000 for Blue Bloods; Game of Thrones fared better, settling around about 1.1 million per week. But the rest of the top 10 are all sub-500,000 viewer shows. So if they're not drawing in loads of punters, my guess is that Sky is placing a great deal of value on being able to claim exclusivity.

That seems fair enough to me - Sky has always tended to appeal to those that rate quantity more highly than quality.
I personally find Sky provide me with some decent entertainment , shows such as Hawaii five O , Mad Dogs , Boardwalk Empire , House , Greys Anatomy , NCIS LA , The Pacific and many more however that's purely my tastes and I agree like most channels they also show some crap.
