Maybe, +1's get better ratings when situated next to their parent channel, so maybe E! don't think that it will continue to be financially viable when Sky move the timeshift channels.

Not sure if Sky have the hayu app, if so perhaps they believe that viewers can use the app instead of the +1 channel?? They can then reuse the slot or sell it off as SD slots are pretty valuable.

I wonder if VM will follow suit and put all the +1's together in their own section?
