I've noticed Sky One are showing The Greatest Showman on Christmas Day. This seems an unusually short gap between the cinema release and a non-Sky Cinema broadcast for such a popular film, or is this normal?


It's part of Sky's 'VIP Christmas' promotion:

But there's a bunch of other VIP related stuff too according to the FAQs:

Sky being a bit generous at Christmas I think - Sky One also showing the Premier League games on Boxing Day.

Possibly buttering up for the next price revision?

Well if you’re already paying the sports subscription the fact that people who aren’t are getting to matches isn’t going to make you any happier.

Funny thing is within the last year Sky One has showcased more live sport, notably Premier League and F1 than Sky Sports Mix, the channel set up to be a showcase for Sky Sports. Defeats the object somewhat.

Im starting to get the feeling BBC SPOTY is a disgrace to television and sport in General, especial in its self-indulgent attitude. I can only conclude your staffer are brains are rather Capacious

I’m afraid I can’t work this post out – especially the second sentence. Could you rephrase it?
