I know, I know... it's premium sports and films that drive subscription numbers, not the order of channels. But I expect that is what may lie behind this numbering decision, though.
VM may think that having the "in the clear" Sky Sports News channel in such a prominent position on the EPG may drive new Sky Sports subscriptions. What other reasons can they have for putting a minority channel right in front of the premium channels?
