Good point.

In the past, the major music broadcasters like Viacom traditionally charged cable operators for their channels. I haven't heard anything to suggest that this has changed.
Perhaps things have changed with their decline and this is the reason why Viacom limit their offering to keep costs down?? (This is the reason that Zee Cafe was on Sky but not VM).

At least you have MTV2 and Kerrang for Metal.

There used to be a dance channel called Rapture on cable & satellite. It's sadly no longer available, but I remember seeing it when I first got cable television.
It wasn't in my package, but I could see it as it was the Guest Channel.
For those that don't remember the Guest Channel, it was a different extra channel from the top package that was made available for a month at a time.
I think it would be a good idea to bring this back, it provides extra value for lower package customers by providing something a little different each month and helps VM to upsell eg by people getting into a series or finding out that they actually like a channel that they've been given a taste of.
This was with NTL, did Telewest have anything like this?
