Its not that simple ,

Sky makes around £6 billion in revenue annually from Sky Retail subscriptions as opposed to £396 million on wholesale subscriptions and £440 million in ad revenue. The retail subscriptions are far greater than both wholesale and advertising combined.

The latest I have on Notts TV is - still in talks with Virgin Media.

I don't think Sky would agree with that! Their precious USP (Sky Atlantic) has been the dominant force in their thinking since the VM channels were sold to them!
