Whatever the future of broadcast TV, I think it's obvious to Sky that the days when they could more or less dictate the way the pay-TV market operates, by controlling the only nationwide distribution platform as well as rights to all the premium content, are over. If they're going to survive in a fragmented landscape with many distribution platforms and premium content spread thinly across them, then they need to find other ways of being distinctive. If they can produce quality content, that will help them no end.
This is simply Comcast expanding its empire as it transitions into a global "broadcaster" to take on Netflix. Lets see if the other American cos, namely Disney, ViacomCBS and AT&T so something similar here eventually.
