Richard Kingsbury, "Boss of PBS America" as he describes himself, has stated on Twitter "fear not, we've just offered Sky some on demand content. We are still a free to air channel".

Perhaps this means that the new VOD content will indeed be only on Sky??

I can't see a channel with such limited funds not showing the content in linear form too though.
