It goes in 4 levels level 1 - documentation is recieved department i work at,
level 2 - it progresses to the companies for review
level 3- talks begin between the relevent parties.
Level 4 - a deal is reached and it moves to progressing to launch etc.
If a deal isn't reached it goes into the reject stage.
Given that Sky Atlantic is a pure scripted drama brand and HBO Max is a broad portfolio/platform of kids, movies, scripted and unscripted (more akin to Now TV’s movies, entertainment and kids packs lumped together), is there anything you reveal that would make your office think Atlantic could become something like Max? I just think nowadays anyone would be hard pressed to charge a significant premium like £12-15 for a fairly narrow proposition...
