(Telecompaper) British viewers will see immediate benefits of BSkyB's takeover of 100 percent of Sky Italia and 57 percent of Sky Deutschland from 21st Century Fox, CEO Jeremy told the Independent. He said one of his top priorities will be to produce more international TV shows, such as Sky Italia's Gomorrah, which is screened on Sky Atlantic in the UK. Another aspect of the merger will be to use BSkyB's larger size to negotiate pan-European rights against rivals like Netflix. Over 95 percent of BSkyBs independent shareholders voted in favour of the deal on 6 October, while 21st Century Fox abstained.
