I think this is totally despicable and shouldn't be allowed!!!Grrrrr!!  |
I had Awake on a whishlist for a long time before a UK broadcaster was announced and subsequently forgot about it when I later learned that Atlantic had got the rights. So I was surprised when it turned up as a planned recording. I then remembered that Sky had done this sort of thing before, to try to get VM customers to defect to Sky. I just find it irritating rather than wrong.
A lot of people seem really annoyed at it's cancellation, so sorry for them, but knowing that it happened to a show that Sky choose to restrict viewers numbers of, by putting it on Atlantic, eases the irritation slightly
