First it was May, then it was the end of Game of Thrones, now it’s when Now TV joins BT. Then it’ll be some other magical stumbling block.
Even if Sky can coax 1 customer from virgin media between now and the end of the year based on sky offering sky atlantic thats still more customers.

Why say "you're getting sky atlantic content in january via...." why lose your attraction before you need to reveal your hand in january?

I'm not saying its going to happen. But if the contract doesnt start till 2020 why let customers know they're getting your golden goose until you need to?
