Sky Original drama on Sky Atlantic typically gets shown on Virgin Media anyway via Sky Showcase, and as Sky Showcase is closing down, they need a different channel to show it on that's accessible to us.

Without all the newer HBO content, Sky Atlantic is now of considerably less value, so this gives them less justification to withhold it from Virgin Media.

don't hold your breath it wont happen
