What we are complaining about is the way programmes are placed on Sky channels because Sky has far more money and therefore bidding power than any of the other platforms.
Two examples.House and Lost.Both were being shown on other platforms and channels.Between one series and the next Sky outbid for them and they disappeared behind the Sky platform.Very hard on those who were watching them on Channel 5 and Channel 4 and had no access to Sky. |
That's not a fault of sky though is it . If programs are available to be bid on then why shouldn't Sky bid on them .In the case of lost if channel 4 wasn't prepared to pay or couldn't pay ,then that is an issue for channel 4 to sort out .It may have been a pain for the viewers but it was a result of how the whole tv media industry works not just Sky
