Disney is the first of a number of media companies to go down this route. I can imagine your jaw dropping next year as you see all these new VOD services starting up. The exclusivity of the material they add to their services is key to their success, so I'm afraid the TV channels won't get a look in.

It may not be news you want to hear, but it's happening anyway. If the linear channels don't produce more original content of their own, they will die.

Sad, but true. Don't shoot the messenger.
