Don't expect you to believe me, and I am not doing it for credit or to be a known source. Atlantic will go onto VM because like I have said Atlantic was a tool that Sky used to sell themselves as a premium channel and VM a compromise. If you haven't left VM now you are probably not going to. you also have to consider that people are just downloading torrents of the programs shown on Atlantic so Sky are losing money.

It was always going to happen that 2 years after Atlantic being exclusive to sky it will be given to VM.

Also I did not see what package you are on, but if you are on XL, I guess there are a few channels you do not really watch currently, so what will be the difference?
Sky will give it to VM as part of the deal they have with VM so there will be no additional cost for it. Sky make a lot of money from selling their products to VM. Sky don't charge VM for individual channels they charge them a set price for all channels.

Like you say the only price rise will be in future price rises, Sky customers dont get charged extra for Sky Atlantic.
