Not funny. In fact its a disaster.Prime example : the new show Treme from the creators of The Wire is due to be shown on a new channel called Sky Atlantic. The channel may or may not be available in Blighty, but if it is you can bet it will be at extra cost. Plus Virgin and Sky will probably fall out over the costing again.
Sky buying Madmen has already resulted in far too much British money going into non-british film/show making. Sky are killing the whole industry and now Cable has opened his gob, they will probably carry on unfettered.

And I was hoping, forlornly, that we'd get Treme on BBC2.Hey, no hope is too forlorn to get utterly crushed at the swipe of a pen!

i don't miss having skyto be honest, freeview has many channels of shit that i can't be bothered to watch, so i don't need more channels that i don;t want to watch yet have to pay for.
interesting talkbacker in the graniad article comparing the cost sky subscription to the cost of TV license as if you could subscribe to sky and forgo paying your TV licence.
