Freeview is a total mess (can someone tell me why on earth there is a Russian news channel on Freeview?!), and Sky aren't helping.
They have slots so that other broadcasters can't buy and use them. OFCOM has recently given Sky the go ahead to launch a premium service using their slots, the more slots they have the more channels the can offer.
