Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)

Just a heads up for those that have not seen the other thread, but Disney has won the bidding war for Fox, but the situation on who will buy Sky is still up in the air, but it looks like Comcast will get Sky.

What does this mean?

Channels like FX and National Geographic will now be owned by Disney and if Comcast buys Sky, it means all the Sky branded channels along with Challenge, SyFy, Universal, CNBC and Movies24 will all be owned by Comcast.

Also, Sky own the European paytv rights to Fox and Disney films, Disney will want these for its own streaming service, ultimately affecting the viability of Sky's film channels.
