We'd get the missing channels today if VM paid for them. With Viacom now owning Channel 5 we have to wait and see what reorganisation, if any, that Viacom do to their large bouquet of UK owned channels.

And talking of reorganisations, the media were saying last week that Viacom and CBS are to be merged back together again. I don't see how this will affect anything as they have the same owner, Sumner Redstone, in any case.
What I was getting at was that the music channels have suffered a massive loss in viewers. In order to negate this, Viacom may offer the channels to VM for virtually nothing.
