When the Sky basic channels weren't on Virgin TV, Virgin owned their own set of channels such as Living, Bravo, Challenge etc which did have a lot of original content from the US.

However these were sold in return for a more secure content agreements for the Sky channels http://www.theguardian.com/media/201...media-channels
And they created two new channels to replace them- Setanta Sports News and Virgin 1
