      Reading the article I saw “certainty until 2032” and thought “ok at least nothing substantial will change for 10 years”… how are the 2030’s creeping up on me???

      Also I’ve never bought Sky, and if by that year ITV is behind a paywall I won’t pay. The TV licence is bad enough.

      Big mergers always sound exciting until your favorite shows disappear

      Not great news for ITN, who have long provided ITV News. With Sky’s own news operation, why would they duplicate instead of having Sky News provide ITV News?

    5. Oh, yay. Another channel taken over by right wingers.

      Christ the UK really is in a dire state.

      I genuinely can’t imagine how worse it can get considering ITV has the most adverts and the smallest catalogue between BBC, itself and Channel 4.

      Plus their account system is utter dogshit and so is their online streaming, as far as Sky goes I can’t imagine it will be worse
