Can someone in the know please clarify the differences between an independant channel launching on SKY and Virgin. Let's take a channel like Scuzz or Dave purely for example purposes.

Does the new channel have to pay SKY for the EPG slot and satellite space whilst Virgin have to actually pay the new channel to join their platform?

Sorry I don't really fully understand the difference between a channel launching on SKY and Virgin. Any info would be great.
