Most people don't care who produces the content they either like it or not.

Sky buys lots of third party content in from the States and other countries.
The quality of which is not as good. All the really good stuff is going to streaming.

It's funny that in an attempt to prove me wrong, only one show - Game of Thrones - could be named, and that isn't even owned by Sky! Says it all, really.

It will be interesting to see what is on in its place. More repeats of GoT, no doubt!

And the answer to that is that Sky are showing HBO's Game of Thrones! Proved my point, really.
