Sky has 2 main forms of revenue, a subscription which is far higher than the TV licence and adverts as well. BBC only has it's 'subscription'. Both companies will try and make money from licencing their products to the rest of the world or other means (sky's case, selling TV channel space). In terms of American programmes, HBO produces some quality but that is funded by subscription also, so is Netflix. But other then that, there isn't much from American TV that is any good really, it's just better funded (more money in US TV advertising). Eitherway, when it is shown in the UK, it's just a company paying for the rights to show it. so E4 pay for Big Bang Theory for example, I'd prefer BBC to produce it's own programming.
You are paying for a TV licence but only have Netflix and Prime? Yeah, stop paying immediately. Unless you live in a house where people do watch live tv, there is no point.
Hmm, pie.
