Sky Fox Disney

He does work for Sky. On this particular point, the evidence in favour of his position is (a) the figures published by Sky, (b) a foreign company has just offered to pay an enormous amount of money for Sky, which suggests its business model isn't disintegrating and (c) the linked article doesn't say subscribers are down - it says churn was up at the end of 2016. (To be fair to Labrat, the article confuses the terms, but it is entirely possible for the churn rate and the number of subscribers to increase at the same time.)

Linear programming won't last forever but it has decades of life left in it. Comcast wouldn't be paying for Sky if it wasn't confident that it could squeeze the cost of the acquisition out of the customers along with an enormous profit to make it worthwhile in a reasonably short time frame.

Comcast (and 21CF/Disney) are historically weak in Europe and this gives them a big step up into this market immediately. Sky also has a lot of experience with internet transmission, so called OTT viewing as well. While I personally would have preferred Disney I'm still interested to see what happens with Comcast, although I doubt very little will happen for a year or more.

I'm a big fan of the Disney films e.g. Aladdin, Fantasia, Jungle Book, Snow White, Beauty/Beast and other princess films. However, after they acquired Star Wars and Marvel franchises, I feel that Disney have become too big as an organisation. Disney to me has always been about the Disney films, the Disney Store (Birmingham Bull Ring etc) and their theme parks.



Yes.



My EE went up last month and Virgin Media goes up next month, so yes your Sky will go up too! Basically, everything goes up while pay is frozen.

I suppose I'm going to have to expand my friends network and find someone with a family and friends code I suppose. ;)
