They have done this before, showing Soccer Saturday just on SSN. They then went back to showing on Sky Sports 1 as well.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
Been watching CNBC and Bloomberg on this, especially comments by Disney's boss and there is speculation that Time Warner has been weakened by refusing Murdoch's offer and may be split up. Their shares are down 10% and Disney's boss said "no comment" to the question whether he would like to purchase bits of TW like CNN.

Yes. I saw a bus stop poster with the Freeview, Freesat and Sky logos on but not Virgin's.
It's important to note that it's only Virgin's platform that requires negotiation for FTA channels as it is a closed platform. Other platforms are far simpler. Maybe VM wants to include HBO on-demand as part of a deal?
