The model Sky has been relying on very successfully for the last 30 odd years is now beginning to fall apart, and so there is a lot of work for them yet to do to ensure damage limitation. The original output of Sky Studios and the continuing premier football offering will be crucial to the success of the solution Sky come up with. The days of new film releases on Sky Cinema channels are coming to an end as the streamers soak up everything that’s going, so Sky Cinema will be left only with archive films for their subscribers.
Sky has a difficult hole to be filled, it seems to me, but I’m not giving up on them yet.
