Virgin Media is very much a closed platform , channels have to agree commercial terms with VM to be carried on their EPG which is in stark contrast to Sky which is an open platform owing to Sky's dominance in the pay TV market which means anyone can start a channel and be added onto the EPG.
This is how BT Sport launched on Sky without the need for a wholesale agreement.
