Of course, people will always be interested in paying to see their football team, something Sky knows well, but with investment in quality drama already becoming a key problem in the UK, it is an interesting stance.

Since when did Sky create any quality drama?

Quote:
Sky's chief executive Jeremy Darroch has outlined his fears over the increased numbers of people providing platforms to watch television, believing that many of the online, mobile and other device makers are not interested in making their own content.

Well BT and others pay Sky for these services. Apple pay the networks for their shows bought via iTunes They are both simply intermediaries like Sky is.
