But where is this information based on? One story that is highly speculative,

I can appreciate speculation/theory on channels VM consumers would like to acquire like SA
I can understand on ones that have been announced as intended to launch like ITV encore

But speculation on a channel that doesn't exist I.e. Sky bravo is just plain daft, if anything if such a channel was planned I suspect ITV encore is now this said channel, which will be a sky exclusive for given period.

Why would sky want to do a deal for sky bravo with VM when they have proven in the above two examples of doing it alone (SA), if anything this proves they want to do deal with producers like HBO and ITV and not direct competitors, BT and VM
