That's the only logical answer i can think of right now m8 my normal sources haven't yet confirmed any of this as of yet.
Sky's profits have fallen* so there's an incentive for it to try and make more money out of its content. It's done this successfully with Now TV but I think it's more likely now than ever to come to some kind of deal on Sky Atlantic. As I've suggested before, this might be as part of a deal with VM for VM to deploy Sky AdSmart.
(*Sky's costs have risen due to increases in sporting rights costs and the £ falling against the $ 15% since June 2016 whilst advertising income has fallen.)
