With Good Food set to go Media Boy HQ feels that Quest Red will close and Discovery will keep Really as Discovery has put Really before Quest Red on the EPG of both Freeview and Sky.
Discovery channels are as following on Freeview:
12. QUEST
17. Really
37. DMAX
38. Quest Red
41. Food Network UK
42. Home
Main Discovery channels appear in this order on Sky:
-Discovery Channel
-TLC
-Food Network
-Really
-Quest
-Quest Red
-Investigation Discovery
-Home
-Discovery Turbo
-Animal Planet
-Discovery Science
-Discovery History
-DMAX
-Discovery Home & Health
-Travel Channel
-Discovery Shed

Of course, it should be mentioned that Sky's negotiations with VM to invest in its new network may increase the likelihood of a VM getting a certain Sky channel. And I'm not talking about a shopping channel.

Given Quest Red is their 3rd highest rating FTA channel and Really their 2nd I can't see them axing Quest Red, I believe the shows are different even if the genre is the same.
I added Good Food below even though it's a Pay channel, as an interesting comparison.
Last month available's BARB ratings (July)
Good Food 0.10
Food Network 0.23
Home 0.27
DMAX 0.43
Quest Red 0.54
Really 0.68
Quest 0.91

VM are too greedy with their network they won't let anyone else on it if they was to let SKY in then it'd open the doors for others so won't happen.

Seeking to monetise your investment isn't greed. The cable network isn't a public good.
Letting Sky on wouldn't open the door to others - it'd be a commercial agreement like any other.

Thay are obviously both seeking a deal to put pressure on BT's Openreach.

Be interesting will be very expensive for SKY and VM one feels and we all know the result of that.
