The Disney channels didn't seem too important, Disney couldn't reach a carriage agreement with Sky or with Virgin. Disney were reported as wanting more money for channels that were performing very badly and in decline. Universal content was largely absorbed into Sky Witness and new channels such as Sky Comedy, that was more about Comcast consolidating their portfolio. So that leaves Fox, not the most prestigious channel, a few decent programmes and a lot of filler content. So, in the end, very much minor channels and no big loss.
