Sky and Virgin are the two largest premium broadcasting platforms in the UK. Sky is a satellite based service while Virgin has a virtual monopoly on cable services throughout the country.

Both operate their own channels and some channels are also broadcast on the other's networks. Despite that they do not have common ownership and they are rivals that have spent time in court to resolve disputes between them.

Quite apart from UK broadcasting regulations preventing the two becoming a single operator, there would appear to be little appetite among either company to consider any kind of merger or closer working practices.
