BSkyB to share content

BSkyB could be forced to share premium content such as Premier League football and Hollywood films with all rival platforms.

Ofcom's pay TV review said Sky should wholesale Sky Sports 1 and 2 and 12 of its movie channels. The regulator is consulting on whether to set prices and has increased the prospect of referring the way Sky acquires rights to the Competition Commission. The regulator has agreed to allow Sky to launch its premium service Picnic on Freeview.
