Channel 4 have severe funding problems and have projected losses in the years to come. At one time their was even talk of two or three of ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 merging.
There just isn't the advertising revenue that there once was.

AIUI the viewing of music channels has declined dramatically and some former pay music channels have gone Free To Air. So yes, you'd think that MTV would be eager to get all of their channels onto VM to try and bolster their flagging ratings.
