Nice to see Sky getting a taste of its own medicine but I suspect there will be adverse consequences down the line.
I'd like to know who's next?

Discovery Network channels vanished from Talk Talk last year then only a few months ago Discovery Network removed Quest on Demand from Youview. Now their channels are set to be removed from the SKY platform. It won't be long until TV Player and BT have their troubles I suspect.

Whilst through time the channels might end up exclusive to Virgin Media what kind of audeince and viewing figures would remain?

I think Eurosport might shock us with bids for Champions League and EPL rights!
