After doing some digging, a little birdie tells me that, apparently, Sky Atlantic was not included in the new carriage deal as Sky are still insisting on the £1.12 per month per subscriber for it.

LG/VM are not prepared to pay this, so it's still stalemate.
Yes, and that's despite the media reports last year that Sky and Virgin were coming closer on a deal regarding Sky Atlantic and a sense of 'realism' was now entering the debate.

So much for that, then.

I don't understand why you think there will be a wait, Den. The Sky Sports and F1 channels are likely to arrive in the summer, and the rest will not be far behind, probably in the early autumn.
