Sky TV announces some important news and customers will welcome the changes

Sky TV customers are getting some very welcomed news from today with the satellite firm announcing a swathe of updates to help its users get through the coronavirus outbreak. Sky is putting a range of measures in place which are aimed at helping those staying at home including offering some exclusive content and allowing Sky Sports users to cancel their subscriptions.

“We’re working hard at Sky to make sure we continue to look after our customers. We’re also introducing some things to help make life a little easier for anyone at home trying to work, stay connected to loved ones, or keep the family entertained,” said Stephen van Rooyen, EVP & CEO, Sky UK and Europe.

Perhaps the biggest news is that Sky has partnered with NBCUniversal to make a range of movies available to rent at home through the Sky Store, on the same day as the global premieres.

This will begin with DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls World Tour on 6 April, the sequel to the Trolls blockbuster.

This is the first-time customers have been able to rent NBCUniversal movies as soon as they hit cinemas.
