During a pandemic with an impact on the global economy it's hardly a surprise that new channels aren't popping up all over the place. The best you can hope for is GB News and it remains to be seen whether or not that will appeal to a significant amount of viewers.
Sky Atlantic is still the elephant in the room. With Sky using that for their own productions, they may wish to gain more exposure. Then again, they are well aware that Virgin Media viewers desperately seeking access to the channel will possibly have a Now subscription and may not wish to lose that source of income.

Fewer channels and more streamers is what you have to look forward to now. You heard it here first! ©

The state of the economy may make it more likely that consumers decide that they can't afford to subscribe to several different streamers. It's too early to make a realistic prediction.
