The stakes are high. Concerns are growing louder about whether Comcast exercised good judgement in spending $39B on Sky in 2018. The U.S. media giant wrote $8.6B off Sky’s value last year and there is undimmed chatter pertaining to the sale of its German and Italian divisions. The jury is out on Sky Glass, satellite dish-free smart TVs unveiled by ...

Frot-Coutaz says 2024 will be an “importan...

Chernobyl, Gangs of London and Save Me are the only UK originals to have broken into the top 10 shows on Sky Atlantic, home to HBO’s top-end series, including White Lotus and Succession. The ratings serve as a reminder of HBO’s world-class content, but there ar...
