Blair "Dem Gains" Woodbury joining Devoli as CFO.
I like the quote on his twitter
'Watching media and telco collide and trying to figure out what it all means'
Assuming there would have to be an announcement from this?
Didn't even require a market announcement.That's how bs the ex-CFO's latest 'role' was. I mean who works part-time at that level anyway?!

Sky TV hooks up with Disney to lure broadband customers
I don't have children but to my friends that do Disney is basically a free babysitter.
Dont see why, this is purely a marketing promotion - this deal doesn’t put any Disney content back on sky’s tv platforms. Its simply an arrangement for Sky to give new broadband customers a free year of access to the Disney+ app. There is no Disney content coming to skybox or neon customers.
not in a million years, disney is all in on disney+, and spent billions of dollars buying out existing distribution contracts with cable companies to remove their content early from the pay tv platforms, there is zero chance they will do a 180 on that effort.
Sky is paying disney in this deal, not the other way around (disney has these deals all over the world, just like Netflix does as well - see sparks broadband Netflix deal). It’s impossible for this to be a loss leader for Disney, every new subscriber is 100% margin accretive for them. Whereas sky has to pay disney for every new broadband customer that takes up this offer.
Yes, sky are probably paying Disney ~9/month for subscriber. So they are in effect giving up their broadband margin for 12 months to attract new customers.
Disney+ is here to stay - maybe Sky can do a co-exclusive deal in the future to get some content back on the sky box. Maybe not.
Either way, this is good news I think. Keeps the relationship with Disney alive and Sky do need to be bold/aggressive to get the broadband numbers up. I would also like to see some kind of a partnership with NETFLIX soon.
If we look after our customers with great content, service and attractive pricing then we should have no issues hanging on to them in 12 months time.
sky are already giving a $30 broadband discount to skybox subscribers - who I’m guessing wouldn’t see much value in Neon? (If they have soho/movies content via skybox already that is. In fact giving them neon would cause those skybox customers to possibly cancel movies/soho subscriptions seeing as they are getting it for free through neon anyway).
Agreed - NEON is of limited value to the average sky box sub (who can stream all of their sky content on Sky GO now if they prefer streaming. Very good service now that you can Chromecast. Only 1.5 star rating on the App Store though! Some very negative comments but I have had zero issues with it and find the UX pretty good).
Sky need to keep adding more and more value to their customers as part of their proposition as an aggregator. I think the Disney sub will be much more attractive to a wide range of people than having NEON as an add-on to the Sky Box.
If they can get a deal with NETFLIX then they could give new subs the choice of 12 months of Disney+ or NETFLIX.
