6 million customers a week watching Discovery channels on Sky's platform is nothing to be sniffed at.

And less of the young please as l am probably old enough to be your father although you have to remember when one is getting on in years one generally becomes more dense as the brain starts to go.  |
The young was a compliment
Discovery claim 6 million customers a week but how many will they get if they went it alone? I'm sure quite a few of that 6 million would not subscribe.
Universal channels get 12million+ weekly watching on sky platform but you don't see them demanding silly money then crying on social media when they get told to do one.
Discovery were the ones who walked away from negotiations not SKY, now i'm no fan of SKY as most on here know but for once i actually agree with SKYs stance on this.
What's saying Discovery don't start the same crap with BT and tv player too? i'll exclude vm as vm are in a good position due to malones 29% stake in Discovery but malone risks backlash bt sky may make future negotiations for vm very difficult all because of Discovery thinking they are better than what they are.
The bottom line here is ultimately there will only be one loser and that's us the consumer.
