Wizarding World channel

[Becm1984]

Whilst I appreciate that the films arent for everyone, is there any practical reason why the Wizarding Channel showing the HP and FB films cant remain on permanently? Theres a huge number of 'open' channel numbers and given their popularity, I cant see why they're restricted to school holidays only (although we havent had any this summer). If we can have 'movies 24' and various +1 channels, surely theres space?

The various movies are available to stream on Sky Cinema during school time (subject to license, information correct at time of posting)

Then if sky had a channel just on all the time, there would also be complaints about. There are complaints here when they do it at school holidays.

Sky do know viewing figures for watching these movies during holidays so I'd think they would have the analytical skill to extrapolate what would be viewing figure at other times (based on models they have)

You could email viewer relations at viewerR@sky.uk to log your suggestion (as this is mostly a viewer helps viewer forum)

Given that remains a massively lucrative franchise, I'd suggest it's extremely unlikely that Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc would even consider granting any external company 'permanent' rights to the relevant content.

Sky are not allowed to have the rights to this films permanently as they switch between the various broadcasters throughout the year, I'm sure they would like nothing more than to keep them all the time but it just isn't possible.

Many thanks all, I assumed there would be a reason why, I just couldnt work out what it would be!
