AIUI channels have to pay extra if they want to join Sky Stream, so a lot of the poorer channels haven't joined yet. I suspect that, as Stream customers grow in popularity, some will eventually leave Sky Q in favour of Sky Stream, or for a time, be made available on both.

Though I personally doubt it with regards to this particular channel, it could be that Sky have refused to let them onto Sky Stream, something they're not allowed to do with Sky Q.

Vince’s news is far more significant. Paramount+ will become a giant amongst streamers.
Those that want to watch it will care, regardless of the number.

That's TV is on Virgin, but they are in financial difficulties. If it ends up that it closes altogether, my thoughts are that Virgin may add Rewind to replace That's TV as it's a similar channel.
