I've got to say I think Virgin themselves have been naive here. When they sold VMTV they should have asked for 10 years carriage of all their basics, but present and future. As it stands Sky could close down all their channels, launch a load of replacements and Virgin wouldn't be automatically entitled to the replacements.

This isn't a million miles from how it actually is given that some of Atlantic's content is from Channel One!
