Even Stevens or does Eurosport or Atlantic tip the balance in one direction?
Strange as it might seem but if Discovery networks do depart with SKY then BT tv would be stronger than SKY for doc fans, VM would be in the strongest position overall but coverage and lack of own content could be vms undoing in the long run.

But.... maybe.. .LG could let Sky have the Discovery bouquet if we can have Atlantic!
Or knowing SKY they'll launch their own doc channel and hoover up as much content as possible.
However a lot of Discovery content will be safe as Discovery make most of heir own programming.
I agree with MM it's just a storm in a tea cup it's a case of my dingaling is bigger than your dingaling, it'll get resolved one feels in time.
