Free Sky Programmes for the elderly (over 90 say)
I was recently given Sky Cinema and Paramount + for free. Wouldn't it be lovely if sky would consider giving elderly people (i.e. over 90) a choice of a free programme?. As one of those I would choose sky sports instead of Cinema or Paramount+

Re: Free Sky Programmes for the elderly (over 90 say)
I'm afraid Sky are unlikely to consider anything along the lines of what you're suggesting. For starters any such scheme would be abused. A family could have an elderly relative living with them who have no interest in Sports or Cinema but what you're proposing is that that family would have free access to a channel/s that the 90+ year old would never watch.

Sky spends literally billions of pounds to acquire sports rights: it's extremely unlikely they would be prepared to give such content away.
