Yes, I think Media Boy mentioned this in connection with the Channel 5-Viacom set-up. He suggested that Channel 5's offerings including Spike were negotiated by VM whilst the Viacom channels were negotiated by LGI. That makes sense so I guess there's still some pan-European deals to be conducted with A+E and Viacom to mop up the remaining channels.
