It's called good business practise and is the way forward.
Edit: VM have quite a few things in the pipeline.
Wasn’t criticising them in the slightest - it’s really good and given how they’re tied up here in the U.K. anyway with channels and ad sales, Sky are the natural partner for them (and this is probably the basis for rumours about Comcast and VCBS collaborating on international streaming).

It’s also really smart bundling this with Sky Cinema as a way of upselling.

Agree 100% they’re being smart and know the way the tide is moving - they’re shoring up their own content proposition and then augmenting each part of the bundle with an added service or benefit - plus this is very much in sync with Comcast’s plans for TVOS devices by using their own services as an anchor for others.
