End result they negotiate to provide channels from Sky/BT.
Although they do run the Virgin Ultra HD channel, which has shown dramas such as Mr Mercedes, Absentia and Underground, to name a few.

If Virgin had their own 24 hour channel exclusive to Virgin, it would offset the advantage Sky customers have with Sky Atlantic.
