Sky News and other broadcasters who are on the Stocks are having a bit of a problem at the moment.
Do we think the presentation & programming will suffer? I can see our screens being pumped with pap such as 'One Man and his
Cat
from Sky, or a welcome return of even more Simpsons & Star Trek Can't wait

The article has this sentence...

BSkyB - the firm that pioneered multi-channel subscription broadcasting in the UK - is switching off its last analogue broadcasts on Friday.
Er, they closed on the 27th - that's Thursday. The Sky One frequency now broadcasts music and a message which says 'Sky's analogue service has now closed. To subscribe to Sky Digital call ...' Of course it concludes with a telephone number. It features the man from the advert with the living satellite dishes. There's a pic of him here: http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/lse/bsy.uk/reports/bro.pdf I wonder if the still will change when Sky News relaunches, bearing in mind, that it's also the launch of a new corporate logo?
To pick up on a rather amusing bit of text that appears on the 'Bloomberg Data-Screen' every so often, 'Shares can go down'.
Indeed, my shares in Abbey National were down sharply a few months ago, they bounced back up to about £16 a share. Until the 11th of September they were at around £14 a share.
As the article pointed out BskyB have weathered the 'storm' better than other broadcasters. Now is the time to buy. Not sell.
*yawn*.. I'm sorry but does this have to turn into another SKY vs Cable war?
I do tend to agree with c@t on this one, james2001, I can't see any point to you saying 'I don't want my TV service to be run by one of the most powerful and obnoxious people'. It could be the same with ntl:.
