A show being dropped because it’s cancelled is one thing, moving to another network less common. But owning the rights and not broadcasting it to save on royalties is completely wild.
It also raises significant competition concerns if these services are buying up content, not using it, simply to prevent an alternative streamer picking the rights up. Another area I’m sure the competition regulators in the US and EU will take note of. The UK regulators, are rule-takers in the global market - will no doubt sheepishly concur once one of the big boys act.
