From the Sky basics dispute we identified that the vast majority of channels are on pennies per subscriber - a deal that would most definitely not appeal to the major streamers who are retailing packages at £8 or £9 a month relatively successfully.
Virgin advertising these services and the content on them would probably be sufficient.
