I assume virgin media won't be able to offer it and Sky will do a sort of Sky Atlantic thing and make it inclusive?

BT Sport is potentially leaving Virgin Media before the start of the season.
I assume BT Sport will ask for more money since they've been losing money on it and are looking to sell anyway? Getting more money from virgin media will make them more attractive?
If they cut off VM, they will lose even more money, won't they? As I understand it, most VM viewers would not pay extra for this service if the current deal expired. As things stand, the VM money is guaranteed income, whether customers want it or not.

As far as Peacock is concerned, any contracts they have with Netflix and others will come to an end at some point, and then they just won't renew them.

The version that will appear on Q certainly is. There are two other tiers, though, the top one of which is advertisement free.

As of January 2021 I have ban sources from using any Do Not post orders on me. So I am just passing on any info I get from my Sources.
Your sources appear to be a little behind the curve, MB. Your CF sources appear to be more reliable.
