    Skys implosion to suite a woke agenda is staggering. His choice he said, well seeing his mates one by one being sacked for the likes of Clinton Morrison will no doubt have helped make his decision

    It's a caricature of itself now but people forget how revolutionary and brilliant it was.

    It takes some speed of thought and action to take in and pass on that much information at speed for an hour and a half with the picture changing every second or two.

    Shame but probably the right time. Freshen things up and make sure the rest of the viewers move over to BT

    I've tried BT and is rather poke my eyes out than watch that sh1te again, as for Jeff he's kept that show going single handedly for years and when he's gone I'm gone, I'll stick to my laptop and follow RTB s thread.

    Jeff is irreplaceable.

    The midweek show are watchable but just an info service, not as entertainment.

    Literally anything is better than BT coverage mind, they haven’t a clue hence their desperation to sell it wholsale.

    Not sure what his name is but there's a guy called Jules or Jools who I'd say would be a decent successor, good at the multi tasking aspect and not bad banter.

    Must admit I am a bit Jeffed out these days, I like the guy and he's great at the job but from my point of view I don't mind a change.

    I mean, they didn’t.

    Jeff actually almost quit 4 years ago, and actually viewing figures didn’t slide when Le Tiss etc where let go.

    Nobody else hired that lot, why is that?

    I work for Sky and a part of my job is watching numbers, Sky lost customers for 12-13 years but last 2 years have started gaining g customers and viewers again.

    We can’t put everything down as ‘woke’ actually you gotta move with the times or you die. Sky has reinvented itself for 30 years and has just started selling Europe wide. Comcast who own Sky break records every quarter.

    We similar age mate and I’m like you, all this pandering and such is bullshit, not everything g is sexist or racist. Sky haven’t pandered to this though, Sky is a business that exists to make money through entertainment. You have to go with the masses and appeal to new generations.

    Losing some older customers who don’t agree is a tiny pot compared to gaining a new generation of teenagers entering bill paying life.

    It’s simple marketing, and nobody in the UK is better than Sky at that. The voices saying they are **** are a tiny minority. Customer numbers and viewing stats and advertising revenue and straight up profits fo not lie.

    Not everything is ‘woke’ some things are just ‘progress’ whether it suits us or not.

    Sky is utter ****. Utter bollocks of a customer service, ****ing no idea when your broadband fails. 3 weeks before I cancel my contract. IPTV with all Sky channels on for a mere fraction of the price is the way to go <laugh>

    Forget that IPTV is stealing and costs jobs in the uk.

    Love how folk take such pride in saying this. Like you wouldn’t say ‘check my car out, ****ing paying BMW I robbed it, happy days’

    Not to mention there’s proven links to IPTV streaming services and terrorism, fraud and blackmail rings.

    But hey ho it’s cheap aye.

    Officially according to Ofcom the highest customer service across the industry.

    Issue with broadband is its the sole part of the business Sky are reliant on Openreach (formerly BT) to work on, Sky cannot send a Sky engineer to fix it, but those times they are changing as we get full fibre more commonplace.

    People will literally lose pay and potentially their jobs for low customer NPS scores, that’s all important, if you have **** service fill in the survey (make sure it’s for the right person as they are individual) and then companies act on them.

    Appreciate that you work for them but personally think it's an utter **** service.

    Anyone who employs Sue Smith as a football pundit needs to have a look at themselves FFS
