They are exploiting the fact that they operate both a set of channels and a content delivery platform. Given that the regulator can, and has, acted in the past to rule on the pricing and availability of Sky's channels on other platforms I think it is reasonable to expect Sky to behave in a non-discriminatory way towards the other platforms that carry its content. Shifting series from Sky One, which is available on all broadcast platforms, to Sky Atlantic, which is exclusive to Sky's own broadcasting platform only, contravenes the spirit of the regulator's past rulings in this area even if it does not offend against the letter.
