I don't think Emma Crosby would be too expensive for Sky. I don't think shes worth that much after her performance on GMTV. Sky could afford names like Eamonn Holmes and Dermot Murnaghan, so I don't think someone like Emma Crosby would be a problem money-wise.
However I thnk the appropriate word in the above is COULD. Sky COULD afford Eamonn and Dermot a few years ago - but I'm not sure they would be able to now... After all they've got their internal HD loan to repay...
Their upgrade to HD has no effect whatsover on their normal budget. It was funded directly through BSkyB, and is not a loan.
