Even if the likes of Disney eventually make their content exclusive the likes of Sky still has NBC and its own production companies with which to redirect it's money.
So, you are of the view that Sky will be able to continue with their Sky Disney Channel when Disney+ launches over here next year? Dream on. They are already getting stuff taken off Netflix.

The same will happen with other streaming services - most if not all of their new shows will go straight to the new service and the pay tv companies won't get a look in.

Missed the point completely. The new stuff as well as back catalogues will migrate to the new SVOD services. The pay tv companies will be thrown a few scraps - mainly archive material, in all probability.

The process will start with Disney + next year.
