It hasn't happened - the Guardian think it MAY happen

As for what you have said

1) Even if Sky bought the channels the carriage agreement would still be in effect meaning the channels would stay exactly where they are

2) Sky have not had any regulatory agreement for Picnic - at the moment that's dead in the water and Sky are concentrating on providing Broadband VoD to their satellite customers instead

3) It's not in their interests to gloat if they did buy them - as that would likely bring the regulators eye to look very closely at the purchase
