"Living" is a strong brand, so I doubt they'd close the others. I think they are just consolidating the channels.

Possible, depends on the deal they have for their EPG slot on VM.

I suppose really this channel is not that important to VM with catchup as it is to say Sky and Freeview users.

As DF says not a chance Sky Living , Sky One and Sky Atlantic are flagship channels.

Yeah, as I said earlier, it has little value to VM viewers, but Channel 4 need the channel to bw on as many platforms as possible to make it pay.
