Sky has placed 900 roles at risk as it restructures to compete with US streaming giants. The consultation process is expected to result in about 600 job losses, while 300 staff will be redeployed.
The Comcast-owned broadcaster, which employs about 23,000 people in the UK, has cut nearly 3,500 roles since early 2023. The latest changes target technology, product teams, and corporate functions, as Sky moves from satellite TV to streaming services.
More than 90% of new subscriptions now come from internet-based products like Sky Glass and Sky Stream. Recent launches include the budget-friendly Sky Glass Air and an updated Sky Glass smart TV.
Sky said it will invest in digital-first services, content, and performance to enhance customer experience. Earlier cuts included 2,000 customer service jobs in March and 800 installation roles last year, reflecting the decline of traditional pay-TV.
A deal with Warner Bros Discovery will also bring HBO Max to Sky, ending its exclusive rights to popular shows.
