Sky and VM are a business, like any other, Sky get channels then sell them to various companies, I don't know what Sky sell channels for, but when when Sky offered Atlantic to VM, they said ' we offered at a reasonable price', but VM said no.

Obviously VM want the best for its customers, the same as SKy, BUT if you want a rolls royce you don't offer money for a Vauxhall Viva do you.

VM can quite easily go and get channels under there own steam but prefer to go through Sky.

Sky said they offered at a reasonable price but that I fail to believe. It was probably a heavily inflated price and Sky were just trying their luck. VM probably said no as Sky wanted far more for the channel than VM think it's actually worth.
