Cable Forum - View Single Post - SD Should Virgin Media & Sky drop the +1 channels?

Since there are so many OTT and catchup services available now, wouldn't it make sense to retire some of the +1 services and make space for new broadcast channels?

This would probably apply more to VM than Sky since the availability of streaming services via their set top box could almost remove the need for "+1" channels entirely - assuming that the relevant content deals were arranged / apps installed.

Just throwing that out there...
