Sky Television

There are seven million subscribers who enjoy Sky Television in their multitude of services: they have it all from cultural events and entertainment shows, movies and interactive opportunities, to news, sports and great documentaries at a high video and sound quality. Sky Television was founded as a four channel network in 1989 by Rupert Murdoch, but the company merged with its competitor British Satellite Broadcasting in 1990 and it became British Sky Broadcasting. Even after the merge, the company was still in serious financial trouble with millions of pounds being lost every week. The management reorientation and the introduction of the subscription system allowed for the gradual recovery of the losses and even the making of profit in the following years. The new Sky Television turned into a success.

Sky Television is the most important subscription-based TV service provider in the UK that enters around ten million of British and Irish homes. Sky Television is spread all over the UK, and although most of the services are concentrated in Livingstone and Dunfermline, Scotland, the headquarters remain in London and the uplink for the satellite at Southampton. Changes came over the years with modifications not only of the departments but of the packages offered to the consumers too.

The user gets access to the channels broadcast by Sky Television by means of the Sky digibox with or without personal video recorder included. If you choose the complex set, then it would be like having your own TV channel to enjoy freely. One other great option promoted by Sky Television in order to increase the number of customers is the use of interactive TV services, thus viewers could even select what cameras to watch through during sports events for instance. Besides the subscription-based services, Sky Television also broadcasts around 160 free to access radio and TV channels via satellite.
