So you would just pay up and be quiet?

My point was that ITV can decide not to be on Sky, but Sky cannot stop them if they want to be.

I don't know the full facts, so can't say what I would have done, but I would have handled the PR side in a much more professional manner.

Social media is now a more powerful tool amongst younger people than TV, radio or newspapers. Organisations who don't take this on board do so at their peril.

My comment was in relation to my intention to get the UKTV channels back by signing up to TV Player. I didnt in the end as you can't record the channels and there is no VOD so, as live TV was the only option and no use to me because of one of my disabilities, I didn't sign up in the end.
