The important point is it was after the VMTV sale announcement but before the Sky Atlantic one. I was testing your claim "Many people anticipated that Sky would launch a new channel after the sale" and can find no evidence to support that.
I think the discussions were after the announcment of Atlantic and people saying they were sure Atlantic wouldn't come to VM and they had expected such a move by Sky.

My thoughts then, and I may or may not have posted them, were, hold on, don't be so hasty to assume that Atlantic won't come to VM; surely VM will have included future Sky channel launches in the VM channel sale deal. But as we know, they hadn't, and I still remain perplexed as to why they didn't.

I have wondered the same myself as I've previously posted. One part of me thinks it is necessary and the other has reservations.
