Virgin Media is a company with publically traded shares. It would be illegal for them not to declare all money they have access to.

Shifting series from Sky One, which is available on all broadcast platforms, to Sky Atlantic, which is exclusive to Sky's own broadcasting platform only, contravenes the spirit of the regulator's past rulings in this area even if it does not offend against the letter.
This is the same company that when VM lost Sky 1 a while back was apparently claiming they weren't abusing their position to OFCOM while moving all their bigger shows to Sky 1 and running a massive advertising campaign telling everyone that Sky was the only place to watch these shows..
