UK based broadcasters might have to move abroad

This got a brief mention on Breakfast this morning for some reason, though this article is a few months old. Not something I'd heard about till now

It's about the potential effect of a 'hard' Brexit on the TV industry, in particular the likes of Discovery, Disney, Turner etc whose European channels all come from London and transmit using UK based licenses. With no progress in talks the likelihood of there being an agreement made for this, they're looking to move out of the UK and will have to decide very soon as they'd need to be up and running by April 2019

I wouldn't have thought that we'd notice much of a change on air but it would be a massive blow to the industry and lots of jobs lost

I imagine this would also affect services from British broadcasters like Sky and UKTV into Ireland too, though that would be easier to get round

EDIT: here's the BBCs article from today:

Suspect that bit will have to be included in the special agreements that need to happen between the UK and Ireland. Good Friday agreement issues may come in to play ?

I'd suspect UKTV will not have any problems with broadcasting in the UK as BBC Worldwide already have multiple offices outside the UK's jurisdiction. If BBC Worldwide want to open an Irish office for example; that is entirely up to them if they want to expand their operations. The difference though is that any money given to BBC Worldwide as advertising revenue from their shows has to be channeled back to the UK by adding money to their British Licence Fee funding.

Sky News have a office in Dublin with Darren McCaffery as their Dublin Correspondent. If Sky News want to expand their Dublin operations; that is entirely up to Sky to make a decision on that alone. But Sky in the UK is an entirely different matter as Sky Central was built recently in London. I'd expect that Sky do not want that investment to go to waste as they already invested millions of pounds of their money to have new studio infrastructure in place to accomodate their programme slate as well as rebranding their channel portfolio.
