Maybe this is because Sky have allowed them back into the Sub Club with their transition to HD??

No word on the arrangements for VM
The Autosport link you initially posted states: "Motors TV reaches more than 30million homes and has 130 rights agreements and 700 live events."

I thought at that time that the live events are a good fit for a linear channel. I did wonder if the statement that: "Next year, it will transition from traditional linear broadcast to a video on demand service", actually meant that they would be providing the VOD service as well as a linear channel.

Time will tell what happens on VM but I believe that Motors TV was one of the changes last night, although probably unrelated to the change of ownership.
