Last week, it was announced that ten UKTV channels, including Dave, Gold, W, Drama and Alibi, would be removed from the Virgin TV service as Virgin had failed to reach an agreement over a new contract with UKTV, which is joint-owned by the BBC and Discovery.
Virgin had publicly decried the BBC's refusal to grant Virgin TV customers on-demand access to UKTV shows, while UKTV said Virgin had demanded a "huge cut in fees".
