The link above confirms Sky has just extended its deals with 2 other studios and Universal are owned by Comcast so I'd expect Sky Cinema to stay even if it loses Disney/Fox content in 2020.

The studios going alone eventually will see content removed from Netflix and Amazon.
If you look again, you will see that those deals were made within the existing contractual periods.

Anyway, as you know and as I keep explaining, there is the now, and there is the future.

Remember, it was only a few years ago that you and others were saying that as Netflix was competition for Virgin, it would never get added to our STBs as an app. But look where we are now.

Quite. I'm not sure why muppetman finds so much to disagree with on this subject! Sky's new deal with the studios is just an attempt to temporary shore up a heavy content loss.

This is just the beginning.

Netflix is on the V6. That's already transpired.

It's only 2018, Den. Nobody has said all these predictions are going to happen tomorrow.

However, even you and muppetman must at least be starting to see the trend.
