Denphone i read an article through a link on here in which a top sky executive stated "sky atlantic will not appear on virgin nedia anytime soon"

They wanted a period of exclusivity for their own subs as they advertised it as added for free,so although they offered it i suspect it was offered at a price virgin could and indeed should have refused.

Once it goes into skys paid for packs they may be more willing to negotiate methinks.
