I vaguely recall the previous Sky Basics agreement being said to be up in May...so it's reasonable to think the replacement agreement, including Sky Atlantic, will come into place around the time Game Of Thrones finishes.
Yep, Sky said that Sky Atlantic would be offered to "all major platforms in 2019" as they seek to "monetise their assets" and as the final series of Game of Thrones ends about the same time as the VM carriage contract expires, I think if we are ever going to get SA, it will be then.
