They did say that they were in negotiations to return to VM and that they had a new carriage deal with Sky.

Seems odd that this would be required for VM seeing as they were being carried anyway. Also, FTA channels don't get offered deals on Sky. They simply pay Sky a set fee for EPG inclusion which cannot be discounted for any channel due to regulations that govern the administration of the EPG.

Sadly, it sounds like more BS from them. This all started when they said that they were being temporarily removed from Sky in order to reach more people!?
