I may be misremembering here but I think the only reason they had to sell shares in ITV was because ITV has as PSB licence, so were too 'big' for Sky to have a controlling stake in alongside their own channels

Sky could have probably bought Channel 5 without issue, but then owning another channel wasn't the reason Sky bought shares in ITV in the first place
