It's possible CNN weren't bothered about going Pay on other platforms as those smaller number of viewers, if they truly were interested, would be among the first customers for their new direct subscription, giving it a boost. Sky being the largest Pay TV platform by far would be the only important deal to them.

Bottom line is
CNN has until now paid for carriage on the platform
Now they want Virgin to pay them.
If anyone really wants it £20 a year or £2 a month for their online service will hardly break the bank.
