I think that making a quick buck selling these channels to Sky would be a huge mistake, and would possibly be something the Competition Commission would need to be made aware of. Sky have a ridiculous level of control in the market as it is, and with Living in their grasp I'm tempted to believe that Sky would simply charge what they like for them.

I guess the way around it would be to build a set carriage cost in to the sale, but still I don't fancy it.
