I'm in two minds about this.

On one hand i find it utterly ludicrous that VM would WANT to sell it's stations to Sky given thay, in the future, it could have trouble securing a reasonable price to broadcast them (i.e the Sky 1 debacle).

It also means VM giving up any "card hand" in negotations with Sky (i.e Living HD and BTW will this mean VM no longer able to broadcast Living HD if it becomes owned by Sky???)

BUT i GUESS it could mean we are closer to having Sky HD channels on VM.

I hop ethat VM have made sure in any sales contract that the channels they sell to Sky can NEVER NOT be shown on the VM platform.
