I've never, at any time, stated that we are ready to give up on broadcast channels at this stage, Den. I've been talking about the likely media landscape in 10 to 20 years' time.

However, the first signs of change are already there. The steady increase in the use of on demand services, the on demand VM exclusives, the embracing of on demand alternatives by Sky, the conversion from a broadcast linear channel to on demand only of BBC3, the sheer number of original new series on Netflix and Amazon and the rapid increase in subscriptions to those services - and the list goes on. This is just the beginning of the beginning of a massive change that will be hitting us over the coming years as viewer behaviour changes.

But in this particular case, Den, if I were Sky, I'd want to replace like for like as far as possible to head off the customer grumpiness that always results when you take things away.
