I've since been given the following information:

- Sky Kids already exists on Sky via Boxsets on VOD only. It's said that they didn't launch it as a linear channel because of their joint venture agreement with Viacom/Nickelodeon UK.
Found the following on wikipedia:

-Own 50% of A&E Networks UK - other 50% is own by A&E Networks who operates Blaze, Sky History, Sky History2 and CI channels (And broadcasts from Sky's HQ).

-Own 50% of Sky Sports Racing - other 50% is own by Arena Racing Company (And broadcasts from Sky Sports HQ).

-Own 50% of Ginx TV Ltd - other 50% is own by ITV plc.

-Own 40% of Nickelodeon UK Ltd - other 60% is own by ViacomCBS Networks UK & Australia and operates Nickelodeon and other "Nick" branded channels.
