UK Gold is a popular channel, hence why channels like Gold+1 and Gold 2 exist. You might not like them, but they are attracters of subscribers. Also ntl have to pay the providers for the channels, so you aren't just putting money into ntl.
Most if not all asian channels are in subscrption packages, so are earners.
At the end of the day ntl are trying to make money and to do that they need the channels which people want, there isn't that much call for many european channels.
