Because so much of their channel content comes from other studios. If Disney end up pulling all of their material from Sky, bang goes Sky Disney, the Disney Channel and Disney XD for a start. If other studios do the same, that's more channels down the shute.

Do you really think Sky can make up for all this with the programmes they will be making from their new studios?

I take the point that not all studios will necessarily go for the direct to consumer approach, but Sky will be eyeing this up very carefully, with some trepidation, I would have thought.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Sky will not survive this; I do believe it will. But things will look very different in the future, and people won't be prepared to spend a fortune on TV subscriptions as they do now with a lot fewer channels on offer.
