I'm not sure NTL is getting Sky 3 in the forseeable - it's being pimped as a "Introduction to pay TV", hence the reason freeview get it...

But you also get it on satellite pay TV.

Yes, because specifically it's an introduction to $ky - it hardly costs them anything to stick it on their network, so why not? It just means they're less likely to persue sticking it on NTL.

They will want to get the channel on NTL if for no other reason than because the amount you can sell your advertising space for depends on the size of your audience. It's not in their interests to deny the channel to NTL. I expect there is some backroom horse-trading going on over what NTL want to charge them for carriage. I would be very surprised if it's not there within about 6 months.

Sky obviously think differently, as that's exactly what they're doing.

Do you know that this is the permanent position adopted by $ky as opposed to a negotiating position?

Do we know that it is not NTL that are not bothering to add the channel?
