Because there was no Disney Channel HD, XD HD or Junior HD on Virgin UK in the first place, it makes Virgin look more competitive compared to Sky, even if it looks like a loss, they're only missing Pop Max (which is on Freesat anyway) and Boomerang HD. The remaining kids channels will take advantage of what viewing share the Disney Channels once had. The amount of missing HD channels on Virgin compared to Sky will drop slightly, now it's near enough the same amount.
Most of those who would of wanted to subscribe to Disney+ would of done so already, it's got a lot of promotion both before and after the UK launch, the difficult task is retention.
