I would have thought it unlikely that anyone other than Sky has Razor - there is normally a 'first refusal' clause in contracts when a channel buys a new show. Sky is the incumbent rights-holder and it's highly unlikely they would pass up the rights to Razor - unless the producers have stuffed the price right up, which is why C4 walked away from Lost.

I don't think that's likely though. There isn't another broadcaster out there as willing to chuck stupid great wads of cash at sub-million ratings figures as Sky.
