Like any business you'd be crazy to continue stocking goods people don't want. It makes sense to monitor how much demand there is. If demand is little you stop carrying the goods and replace it with a better product.
i think 126,000 is a good number of viewers for a channel that is only on sky and virgin media, also the channel does not advertise as well

if we had more so called "minority channels" then it is more likely the more people will move from sky to virgin media because they will not lose much in terms of content
