Whole channels, such as Sky Cinema Disney, the Disney Channel and Disney XD are under threat by that one new streaming service.
The Comcast takeover is a help to Sky because it has a library of its own, but I don't think they should be too laid back about that situation. This is a rapidly changing market.

So Disney , Fox and HBO remove their content deals from Comcast , Sky UK and Sky in Europe how much do they then save ? Because I'd imagine it's significant amounts.
That's money they can then redistribute as they see fit with things like more original content and more movies etc.
I'm pretty sure we'll also see more purchases , I think Discovery would be a great addition for Comcast.
