Will I need Sky to watch Coronation Street, I'm a Celebrity and other ITV shows after the UK TV buyout?

Yesterday, we revealed that Sky is to buy ITV for £1.6 billion ($2.13 billion) and create the largest commercial television broadcaster the UK has ever known. It has plans beyond British TV too, revealing that the combined company will also launch a competitor to the major streaming services, like Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+.

However, UK TV viewers are perhaps a bit more concerned about how their day-to-day TV shows and services will be impacted. And whether the Sky deal will mean they'll have to buy a Sky Glass or Sky Stream and subscribe just to watch their favourite programmes.
