Some news for us physical guys:
Why the demise of Network Distributing is a hammer blow for niche DVD and Blu-ray releases
"As the wonderful physical media distribution company Network reportedly goes into liquidation, a few words on the work that’s rightly given it such a strong reputation.
If there’s an old British film or sitcom in your DVD or Blu-ray collection, there is a good chance it was released by Network. Giving long overdue physical releases to a plethora of homegrown films and television shows stretching from the 1930s to the present day, the company has been part of the lifeblood of film and television archiving in the UK.
While the idea that streaming is taking over and physical media is dying may be hyperbole to a certain extent, news that the firm was reportedly being liquidated is a real blow, especially as the majority of Network’s products did not exist on any platform until it released them."
