It was an edgy call in 2014, pushed back at least once, he’s desperately keen to avoid extending once more.
Thus the onus is on Sky, Virgin, etc - the multimillion dollar companies you reference - to “make it work”.

I'm really not concerned about this date, which, incidentally, has always been in 20 years time from 2015. It was simply what I thought at the time, but interestingly, that date (2035) still seems entirely possible.
You seem more bothered than me about whether that date is actually met spot on, which is a bit silly, really.

It lists a few reasons, but the main one for me isnt listed - there is just nothing worth watching anymore.
I was one of the 12.1 million that watched the New Years Eve fireworks, but other than, there is pretty much nothing for me.
The main thing I still used to watch was Doctor Who - I gave up on the current nonsense, besides which its on Disney+ first now anyway. |
And that is exactly why people are deserting traditional channels for the streamers. Audiences will follow the content.

You talk a good game, OB, but so does everyone who calls their post-match local radio phone-in at 6 o’clock on a Saturday evening.

I am looking at this from both the business and audience point of view, Chtis.
How can a 'cost effective business model' work if you starve the traditional channels of content? Because that's exactly what is happening before your eyes.
