Will a really big box of Virgin Cola for all the staff suffice?

Or Sky not being so greedy and remembering it is better to have your channels on all platforms as you get more money.

I imagine we will see Sky Atlantic due to the fact for all the millions (and millions) of pounds they put into advertising for the channel, and the EPG shuffle to give it prominence, it has still managed measly viewing figures which I'm sure has miffed the advertisers. It was meant to draw customers like jesus to christians (???) but flopped.

Sky have a great delusion about the impact of their channels as we saw with the Sky Basics fiasco.

43% of Sky Atlantic shows are viewed non-live. Wow, so essentially a 0.43% viewing figure instead of 0.3% for what is possibly the most expensive channel ever.

Notice how they give the example of Mad Dogs (a good series I agree) that just also happens to be on various platforms but not a program off Atlantic.

MGM HD
Sky Movies Classics HD
TCM 2
Horror Channel + 1
True Movies 2
Movies4Men
Movies4Men + 1
Movies4Men2
Movies4Men2 + 1
Nollywood Movies

Im hoping for the first five, the rest of the CBS and CSC channels would be pretty good too!

I personally will be dissapointed if we have had to wait this long for new content and thats what we get

There are many good shows on Atlantic

Im my mind Sky atlantic has been a very expensive failure seeing they closed Bravo and Virgin one down and have spent absurd amounts on buying content and advertising it.

Which are being crippled by the fact they're not on Virgin, BT, Smallworld, etc. Even shows that go to Sky1 from FTA like 24 and House get their ratings slashed, so imagine how Mad Men and such will do going to uno platformo.

I agree it should be available , and when a deal financially beneficial to both sides can be done it probably will.

Yes you may be right, but in my home Altantic must be in the top 3 most watched channels.
