Not quite. WightFibre, as it is now called is still going strong. They provide Broadband to the IOW, but have until recently had no TV services.

When they were Wight Cable, they bought franchises in Scotland & North Lancashire (Wight Cable North). This eventually became Smallworld Cable, which Virgin took over a couple of years ago.

No, it's still independent, owned by one of the founders of Easynet, Keith Young.
On the company's website it also says "Today, WightFibre is the last independent cable company in the UK continuing to deliver service with a local touch which is the envy of the large national telecom companies. All our employees live on the island and our customer service centre is based in Cowes providing support 24 x 7 every day of the year."

You were probably thinking of Smallworld which VM bought in 2014.

As many as they have agreements to have.

When VM took over Smallworld, Smallworld customers got the same set of channels as all other VM customers. They lost a few channels, and gained a lot.
