True but that's like comparing whatever some cable/satellite company in America is called with say ABC?
Of course the satellite service is going to have much more content, especially if the broadcasts of ABC are on it :D
A straight comparison of actual sky branded channels, that'd be fine to compare with the BBC channels.
Take it that there was no subscription costs for Sky/BBC then IMO.
Sports - Sky, although only reason is for more live games-replays etc are much prefered from BBC personally but still Sky will take sports any day until the BBC aquires some form of live Premier Leauge football.
Movies - Sky, 8 or so dedicated channels for movies albeit a lot of replays if you've noticed(Forgot about SkyBoxOffice but I personally don't like it at all, yes it has films that have just came on DVD's for around around a month ago but it's certainly not worth paying for) vs 0 dedicated movie channels. Less choice, more olden films but imo on the hole of higher quality.
Music - Hmm, don't think anyone personally wins here.
Documentaries - BBC, seriously? What has Sky here... Yes they've got The History Channel etc but what do they produce?
Comedy - BBC, Mock the Week, Have I got News for you, QI, How Not to Live your Life and Coming of Age.
Drama - BBC, please don't tell me that sky will compete with BBC drama's :D
News - BBC, already talked about.
Care free to add opinions/more genre's etc if I've forgot any.
