That tweet is from 6.21am. I believe the Broadcast news item was from this afternoon. So both sources can be correct, the Broadcast one being more recent...

I don't think Sky will have a stake in Channel 5's channels, it will just acquire Channel 5's advertising division whilst Discovery takes the channels.

In fairness to the magazine, Broadcast was less definite than this. It said "The prospect of Sky Atlantic becoming available to Virgin Media’s 3.8 million TV subscribers has moved closer after it emerged that talks between the two companies have reopened."
