what is going on ?
there's an election on after all - why can't they enable Red Button on Sky News for the election at least

Did anyone say it would show up? It's not as simple as VM enabling it. First they have to agree a price with Sky to allow them to do so; and if Sky don't want to sell it, there's nothing VM can do about it.

why not just get some new talent in at normal salaries - like we all get - and then use the 10s of £millions freed up to show the programmes we all want - such as free-to-air Cricket

What's not to follow? Sports coverage is available to whoever offers the most money, and ITV4 and BBC can't get near Sky's offer. Not everyone would agree that sacking the entire BBC and turning the channels over to Cricket coverage would be a good thing - some even like JR, and may even think he's worth the money
"Talent" won't bother showing up for the salary levels we get - nor would you, if you could get a better deal elsewhere.
Anyway, even 10s of £millions would only pay for a couple of day's worth of sports coverage, and I presume you'd want more than that.
PS I bet the armies of talking heads on Sky News multiscreen receive £££££££ as well.
