At the moment, ITV Encore isn't mainstream but VM should closely monitor this channel and make sure that they offer the channel before it becomes a "must-have".

A) I do not really care about Sky Atlantic - the day time lineup look poor to me.
B) ITV has always says that ITV Encore will have its own commissions in 2015.
C) If Virgin sign an deal to carry CSC Media/Sony and Tru TV I will be more than happy to miss the two channels on both ITV and Sky.
