Agreed, my salient point was that VM will lose the automatic right to show these channels (along with all the other Pay TV providers).

I do feel that, despite this, it is likely that the channels will continue to be shown after the current contractual agreement ends, by way of a new contract being signed.

The thread title was correct, however, I have been in contact with a moderator to support a change to avoid any assumptions that these channels would disappear from VM as the likelihood is that they won't.
