Sky and Disney Get Closer

Sky have announced a comprehensive agreement with Disney which covers HD content and broadband distribution via Sky By Broadband. There's also indications that they'll be offering video on demand.

Disney are obviously happy with the agreement. Anne Sweeney, Co Chair of the Disney Media Networks and President, Disney-ABC TV Group, stated:

"This agreement, which marks our largest distribution deal outside the US, is great news for viewers, who will now be able to access an even broader array of Disney content, either through their TVs or via broadband on personal computers. The strategic utilization of new technologies to meet consumer needs is of paramount importance to the growth of the Disney Media Networks Group, and we look forward to this deal enhancing an already rich association with Sky, and our viewers in the UK and Ireland."

This is the sort of agreement we like, this sort of content, other than sports, I believe is highly desired by tv audiences. Disney has so many titles that families will never be short of finding something to entertain their children. Well done guys!
