Our take

Sky formed through the merger of Sky Television and British Satellite Broadcasting in 1990, making it the UK's largest pay-TV company. After the acquisition of Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland in 2014, Sky Group was formed, transforming the UK company into Europe's leading entertainment and media group.

With the recent success of their original content, Sky doubled their investment into this space by 2024 with a brand new movie and TV studio being built. This is expected to create an additional £3 billion of production investment in UK creative sector in the first five years alone.

Sky's streaming service, Now TV, was launched in 2012 to compete with the rising tide of Netflix and, more recently, with Amazon's Prime Video. With pay-TV subscriptions dropping and the video streaming industry expected to grow by a further 20% by 2027, Sky has remained competitive by offering a range of deals, partnering with Netflix, and developing its own TV - Sky Glass, as it aims to keep up with consumer trends.
