again, you'd need to do your research in 2016 alone Sky invested 4+Billion in football rights..
skys overpriced investment in UK and European football, let alone other sporting streams, has driven ticket prices through the roof, hence supporters of clubs that have been fans for decades, can no longer afford to watch their clubs at home or away.
please reciew stats off player salaries and transfer fees before and after Sky got their dirty little fingers in sport.
all of this before I start in F1, the amount of people I've met who can't afford Sky, love F1 and are cut out of the loop, to watch highlights..
then we have international sporting events such as rugby in the past..
someone earlier, mentioned the Netflix monetisation model changing to allow adverts, again, misinformation and case example of someone baking the story to validate their own points. The thing is yes, they are concidering it, but not in a way that detriments their subscription base. The idea is based on the Prime model, of allowing more customers access through Free to View channels..
im not here to educate you, I'm here to point out that being a Sky fanboy doesn't mean you need to stamp all over an OPs question or opinion.
this being a six month old post is irrelevant, that's you trying be all big in front of your friends, may be a self ego thing...
just do some homework, apply research as supposed to blind self-fulfilment and gratification, hence I'm not tagging any of the previous contributors, because my statements is aimed at most fanboys.
as for those saying, they record their programs and then playback and fast forward through the mundane, I actually do the same. The point is we pay over £100 a month for our Sky package, we have it in all bedrooms our lounge, office and cinema room. But as anyone reading this will know, yesterday sky decided to put their prices up.. So, the point is.. Many people feel they pay enough already, without the stealth cost of being forced to watch more and more advertisements.
at the end of the day, sky has shareholders, and that will always drive an organisation into greed and profitability, this doesn't often correlate with value.
it's plain to see who produced and aired Atlantic Crossing, but do you understand advertising yield, reach and return. They are factors of synchronicity,.. The no escape approach.
the reason as to why when you now change channel during an advert and see nothing other than adverts on other channels. It is not a coincidence by any stretch, and was the outcome of the decision made across the entirety of Sky's broadcasting portfolio.
It was Ofcom's decision to support the requests of independent broadcasters to enable them to sell and broadcast more adverts. This is why we now see so many adverts in a given broadcast.
now, as mentioned, if the OP finds the number of adverts, irritating and disruptive to the flow of multimillion pound productions, then he has a right to do so, what it doesn't require is a sky fanboy, ripping him, apart, based on the fact that he has nothing more to do in life. Despite the odd signatures of listing their Sky equipment, which baffles me in spades.
there is such a thing as quality over quantity - even when it comes to a forum, add that to your clout score..
often, humility and empathy go far, especially when acting as a so called SME in a forum.
I've said my point, stop beating people's opinions.. if you disagree great, but stamping on someone to add more posts to your profile sucks..
how about this, go back, like I have done across many of your posts and review the context and tone of your responses..
this is aimed at no individual hence the 'not tagging' crap previously mentioned..
see ya.. I'm off to find more bullies.
