Now TV is aimed at Freeview and Freesat users who want a bit more TV but not a full-blown package. The full-blown package market has probably got close to saturation so Sky needed another way to expand. With services like PAYG films and sports passes, it's not just about entertainment. Its competitors are probabaly TalkTalk and Netflix and not Virgin Media.

I think Sky Bravo was originally reported in The Guardian 9 August 2013.
