Both fox and Disney content is locked to other subscription services for at least 2-3 years....... disney will open its service with a handful of exclusives little else...... In which region are you talking about? In the states we see Disney content winding rabidly down on Netflix. And nothing in this discussion takes into account that Disney now has a controlling stake in Hulu. When Disney+ comes on long, it will be with much more than just a handful of exclusive titles. I’m in uk, but Disney has had its streaming service here for a few years with Disney life, it’s hardly made a dent but it’s only really has classic disney and the Disney channel series mostly aimed at pre teens....... Yes Disney titles are falling away from Netflix, but with all major Disney movies realeased this year and much of next, set to appear on Netflix and rivals.......the streaming service looks like it’s trying to launch 2 years too early to feel it’s exclusive and 2 years a bit to late....... but i I know nothing really, I just know that I ain’t signing up to any more streaming services any time soon, and happy to stop and start Netflix keeping it for only about 3 months in the year.........

The two are not related. We pay our TV licence for terrestrial channels only. Everything else is up to whether you want to pay for it or not. I never said they were........ the licence really only covers the bbc but is expensive at about £13 a month....BBC and partners should not be allowed to set up its own streaming service. You kind of implied they were, even if you didn't mean it. As for expensive? Perhaps but what the BBC actually is, what the licence funds, is far more than just analogous to paying for another streaming service. And the BBC and partners shouldn't be allowed to set up their own streaming service? Says who? So they shouldn't be able to earn income on stuff they've produced, is that it? Or is it because you maintain that the licence fee means the fee paying public already own the material? If that's the case they'd never be able to sell a single DVD (or VHS tape back in the day). There would have to be some ring fencing of funds from both sides so that new product, if produced for the service, was only funded from that side and not the licence fee. It's fiddly for them. ITV haven't this issue at all due to being a commercial station. It would take a bit of doing to import Britbox here, but it's not impossible and they definitely should be allowed do it and no one is obliged to join it.

I disagree, with being allowed to make money on the content.......in the U.K.......overseas is fine so long as every penny generated goes back to the bbc......which It currently does not.....but that’s a whole nother can of worms........ it’s a rocky road to further weaken what the licence fee buys......may be not at first but how long till after it’s inital run and it’s sucessful, will It move to paid service instead of reruns or iPlayer...... they already entering into agreements with streaming services which a bad deals in my opinion with the bbc losing its rights after being shown once and 90 days on iPlayer...... if we are to allow this it needs to be sorted by law and given proper protections, the bbc is not a company it’s a public utility paid for by the public.......... if itv can do it alone thats fine, but they don’t have a great weath of good content, most of their output is throw away magazine shows or talentless competitions and detective shows........ i am more than happy to pay more to protect the bbc, but we have had successive goventments who want to weaken it to to aid media company’s and not the public...... ok rant over.....sorry.......lol

I think we're at least agreed that whatever happens it needs full investigation and legal force and protection.
