At last, the admission we’ve all been waiting for.

The Sky Cinema channels will suffer from a reduced volume of new films coming through, and as time goes on, its existing deals on older films will expire.
If Sky has fewer films to offer, then we can expect the number of film channels to decrease, and presumably, a reduction in the price of subscriptions.

In the past Sky have offered very narrow themed film channels - indeed as far as dedicating a whole channel to Star Wars movies for a specific period. You are incorrectly assuming a link between the number of films in the available library and number of channels.

But yes, for Sky, no good news here.
Well, they are looking to a future where eventually, the broadcast channels will be closed in favour of the streaming alternative. Another incentive for audiences to swap to streaming is to make whole series available as soon as the show lands on scheduled linear TV.
Why do you think they are doing this, SP?

Again believing they are competing rather than complementary formats. The question isn’t why would they keep broadcast channels going, it’s
why wouldn’t they?
ITV would absolutely foam at the mouth of being the channel every TV has on “1”. Promo after promo for ITVX.
