There were cable exclusive channels at one point but they died a death. The fact is that for a TV channel to make any money it needs to have output on the three major platforms (Sky, Virgin and Freeview) and preferably be able to get access to the IPTV ones and freesat as well.
Even Virgin1 has needed to launch on Sky as well.
As for new channels, it is not exactly the time in the market to launch. I would like to see Mainstreet and Travel Channel come onto the Virgin platform as they are the only two I would watch in the current Sky lineup
