What's a shame is this is like rationing. Malone controls and/or has interests in vast amounts of programming. Instead of getting a few shows piecemeal, here and there. VM should have launched several at once either on a linear channel or VOD or both, for maximum impact.
There is no reason why VM could not have its version of Sky Atlantic minus Game Of Thrones, of course. If you look at my John Malone news thread in the news section, I've speculated that Malone might try and purchase companies like AMC (makers of The Walking Dead) or Scripps who own half of UKTV which VM used to own.
Malone controls or has substantial interests in:
Discovery
Eurosport
QVC
All3Media
Starz
Lionsgate
and ITV.
Starz are working on a new show for next year called American Gods which I've heard that some people think it could be as big a show as Game Of Thrones. So, that would be good for a start!
Other Starz shows:
Black Sails
Power
Spartacus series'
