Whatever, wherever, whenever...

Viewing habits are changing and so are we. Consumers demand to be able to watch their favourite shows at home or on the move, on the device and at the time of their choosing. Our aim is to deliver the best content to people whether they're watching via satellite, a broadband connection or their mobile phone.

That's what the last year has been all about at Sky: charting a course for growth that lays the foundations for the next exciting step in the revolution in communications and entertainment.

Not everything's changing. We continue to provide the best content and the most innovative products and back it all up with an ongoing commitment to world-class standards in customer care and community responsibility.

That's something worth watching.
