I was watching 'The Good Wife' on Sky Demand, I got to series 2/episode 21 and when I tuned in next to watch, it had completly disapeared , searched all through, but nothing.

I noticed that it has now gone onto Paramount+ which need a subscription, which I think is tricky, as we pay enough for our Sky subscription and adding another add on is not good customer service, as it's bumping up the subscription and by stealth.

Not good form,

The rights to shows like this only last for a certain period of time and as so you do need to check when a series is being removed as for the likes of Sky Q you have give a 30 day countdown as you can see further down the page here:

It was Channel 4 rights that expired at the start of this month not Sky, it was already on Paramount+ aswell

Sky themselves recently acquired Elsbeth for Sky Witness, airing from 23rd July so I wonder if they might add both The Good Wife & The Good Fight (1-3 left Prime at the end of April and 6 hasn't aired in the UK) to their On Demand service.
