You're looking too much into it. Sky haven't included quite a few channels on that list. Such as SonyTV, Bet TV, and a whole lot more. Including Filmfour, 5usa, and about a 100 more channels.
Should we be in a panic because a 100 other channels on Sky arent on there?
Challenge isnt closing, its free to air. You have no proof beyond a list with about 20 percent of channels on Sky to make that assumption.
Edit: Pretty sure the only reason it requires a Sky subscription for Sky customers is more because of the carrage agreement than anything else, I'm assuming Sky will place this on fully free to air on the new satelite.
Though it isnt fully free to air on Sky, I would still class this as a free to air channel as its available on freeview to tens of millions of UK freeview boxes, and on the M package on Virgin.
And on Freesat this channel is encrypted but as said above I cant see that lasting. The new Satelite will add more capacity for channels to launch on Freesat including the 5usa and other channels from 5. Five even confirmed these are joining freesat.
