Sky Cinema can be added on Sky for £10 a month with an 18 month commitment and costs £9.99 on Now TV how would people save money if each studio went direct to consumer on it's own.
Both Netflix and Amazon use the same model as Sky and Virgin a mixture of their own content mixed with third party content the only difference being it's all delivered On Demand rather than a mixture of linear and On Demand.

It's only more expensive if you take all these streaming services and add them to your satellite pay channels. As you know, my view is that the conventional linear pay tv channels will disappear over the next decade or so as more and more people migrate to the streaming alternatives.
In future, there are likely to be bundles of streaming services rather than bundles of channels. Hayu is already part of Virgin's Full House bundle.
