I've noticed a few folk still mentioning about Sky not letting VM have Sky Alantic.

Yes they did, but at what VM considered an unrealstic cost.

There's a difference between holding a channel back completely, and offering it at what they considered a fair asking price. VM didn't agree and so far they haven't resolved that.

If anyone still believes that's not the case, then please re-read this article...

So can we at least start to petition/heckle VM to re-approach Sky to renegogiate? Surely Sky are aware that they're well past the tipping point of viewers switching over for Sky Atlantic and should now offer it openly to other carriers at reasonable costs.
