They will just want barker channels that promote Sky
It does look like Sky wish to use their freeview capacity as either barker channels or to merely restrict other operators from gaining the capacity and enhancing the platform. In fairness though none of the other pay operators really offer much (unencrypted) on freeview either, UKTV aside if it wasn't for the networks and their spinoffs freeview would be pretty sparse on quality, will UKTV's new owners wish to carry on though, who knows.

Pick TV is a strangely similar name to Picnic (their now shelved although mostly OFCOM approved pay DTT service) i'm sure that's a happy coincidence though.

Strange that, are Sky admitting wrestiling is a game putting it on a gameshow channel!!. I doubt wrestling with go down well with an existing Challenge audience, a very odd choice of programming in my eyes.
