VM were handing over more than just the content of the channels. They were giving Sky the chance to be the only service provider with content. Sky's only competitor that was both a service and content provider would be gone. That was worth a lot.
I think VM made a mistake by selling the channels; they should have kept them and built up the content. VM's plan was to rely on fast fibre BB, which was fine when they were the only ones providing it. But they didn't look ahead to when other providers would also have fast fibre BB and to the time now, where content is king.

totally disagree with bold bit we have even less channels if VM didn't sell the channels to sky no sky HD at all and no red button there be lot more people would moaning and lots people would have moved to sky from VM for the sky HD if we never got it and please remember VM billons of debt they cant compete with sky for content sky would always win on that so did right thing selling
