Sky to cut 1,000 jobs as customers move from pay-TV to internet

Redundancies will come mainly from workers who install equipment in homes

Sky is to cut about 1,000 jobs as customers move away from traditional satellite pay-TV to streaming-based services, in the latest round of redundancies to hit the UK media industry.

The company, which employs about 26,000 staff in the UK, is seeking to reduce its workforce by about 4% this year.
