Especially as they used to own 50% of the UKTV channels
IIRC the UKTV VOD service was created just before VM sold their stake in the company.
I do know for a fact that both Sky and Virgin Media were offered the service on exactly the same terms- Sky decided to take them up on it and VM didn't for the reasons given earlier.
I am making an assumption that UKTV have now decided to let VM have the service at the price they were willing to pay- a lower income stream than expected from a product is better than not providing it and receiving nothing.
