You may be interested in the link below as you seem to think that Sky Bravo is a figment of my imagination.

Thank you for the link, your mistaken if you think I thought you made it up, what I am putting to you is that you are interpreting this story as fact without any firm basis of confirmation from either party involved and then taking this interpretation into other hypothesis of other collaboration involvement that could lead to agreement to acquire other channels. I'm afraid that is very flawed thinking.
As I put it to you before they (sky) have demonstrated the ability to go it alone on exclusives and where a deal is required they are tying into providers such as HBO and ITV, in fact you could argue sky Atlantic was created because of the tie in with HBO.
If sky bravo was to be a rival to itv4 do you think itv would of agree a tie-in?
Now that they have other avenues to market such as IPTV sky does not need virgin as the sad fact us the 3 million or so customers (yes I am guessing the numbers don't hold me to it) is not of great interest when they can go straight to the consumer; via conventional satellite or now through IPTV which I believe is the future.
I do feel that sky bravo, if it were at all exist in any shape of form will not be seen for many many years to come , now if we started a hypothesis that sky wish for VM to take on sky Vegas and sky poker as this would create additional revenue for sky and in turn provide additional funds for VM to acquire sky Atlantic at least it's a hypothesis between channels that exist. I leave that for everyone else to decide
