What's wrong with Sky charging what they want for their channels to other providers especially when they have purchased the content they show?

Why is that bad & why does it need a review?

Seemed to have missed a step in the hate campaign against Sky somewhere
Because Sky doesn't just own channels, it owns a distribution platform. The market is regulated to prevent it unfairly disadvantaging the owners of other content delivery platforms (mainly VM). Using a dominant market position to drive competitors out of business is illegal under EU law.
