Surely if Kellogs launches a new cereal then Tesco has to stock it? No.
It's important to remember that Freeview and Sky are open platforms. Sony just buys the capacity and EPG slots at regulated rates if it wants to launch a new channel.
If Sony wants to launch a channel on VM then it has to send its negotiating team to meet Liberty Global's negotiating team and strike a deal.
This is an inherent feature of the VM platform which has been mentioned from time to time. It means that a lot of channels arrive on VM after other platforms.
