Sky to Announce Record Profits

[steveo]

Sky TV will soon announce record profits.

I say good luck to them. Plenty will starting moaning about their charges, presumably the same people who laughed when they were running up massive losses in the early 90's.

Well done Sky.

Don't watch many of the 900+ channels on my Sky box, but they do bring in some of the greats of US Telly and I'm excited by Sky Atlantic :clap:

Don't bother with Sport or Movies 'cos they're *****. And Murdoch is Satan.

Have I covered all bases?

I can't imagine just watching 5 terrestial channels now days. It's a shame a lot of the stuff isn't free to air but the sports they commit to they cover well.....(as a cricket junkie where else would I be able to watch New Zealand v Pakistan at 3 in the morning....). I certainly waste more money each month on worse things than the £40-50 I spend on Sky.....

I left a message on Andy Gray's answerphone congratulating them.

Is Murdoch disliked because he is successful?
People complain that he is in danger of dominating the media but everyone has the choice of not buying his stuff. Compare this with the left wing BBC who are funded by a license which everyone has to buy regardless of whether they watch their programmes.
Is this fair?
On a lighter note, I defy anyone to watch this without laughing. Neither Gray or Keys make an mention of the fact that the standard or football is terrible and the match is being played by women, but it’s just so funny.

You'll all dislike Murdoch when the SKY money bubble bursts ! We are not even beginning to see the start of a massive switch off that is sure to come as the reality of less free spending money kicks in. I barely watch TV now and I'm guessing if it wasn't for Criminal Minds neither would Mrs Orm. Impressed with their broadband and no probs with the phone (a BT issue when it goes wrong anyway) but that's a lot of money I could better direct elsewhere going on utter dross.

The hatred of Murdock is his methods to get to that level that he and News inc are at . Mind you Wonder if Vince Cable sent him a message saying " War's are not fought only just one battle " he he :D . Or good luck with buying the rest of sky now (never mind teh monopolies have you the money for the buy out, after these civil actions on phone hacking )
