The platform has done a deal with Sky to recommend that Top Up TV customers transfer to Sky at a reduced rate if they wish to continue to receive Sky Sports channels.

Top Up TV will cease broadcasting Sky Sports 1 and 2 at the end of June and will cease broadcasting ESPN at the end of July.

BT Vision will direct sell its sports channels to the customer and so bypassing both Sky and Top Up TV."

So no carriage deal with SKY, and no carriage deal with Top Up TV.
But of course, BT will wholesale it to VM out of the goodness of their own hearts
