BT Corperate site reports that they've done a deal with Universal to provide SyFy, Universal and E! on BT Vision.

Interestingly, no mention of Style Network on the press release, which is also a Universal channel.

Quote:

The three new channels join BT Vision’s rapidly-growing linear offering, which now includes Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, Real Time, British Eurosport 1 and 2, FX, National Geographic, National Geographic WILD and UKTV’s Gold, Watch and Alibi. BT will be announcing more new channels shortly.

Marc Watson, BT’s chief executive of TV, said: “Universal Channel, Syfy and E! make a fantastic contribution to our channels offering at launch. They offer the best quality drama, hit supernatural thrillers and popular entertainment shows that viewers love.

“As we expand the number of channels available soon for BT Vision customers, we hope that there will be something there for everyone. We will cater for drama lovers, comedy addicts and sports fans in equal measure. We are not finished yet and we will be announcing some more much-loved channels to complete our roster.”

Laurence Dawkin-Jones, UK MD, Universal Networks International, said: “We are delighted to be able to bring BT Vision customers three of our core channel brands and the range of high-calibre programming they boast. From exclusive hit dramas to the world’s most-talked about reality series, our channels will make a unique and compelling contribution to the BT Vision offering.”

I knew there was another Universal channel I forgot - no mention of Movies 24 on the press release either.

No big loss in the grand scheme of things when they've got Syfy, Universal and E! on board. I like their policy so far of signing up channels that will have mass appeal and people will actually watch. Would much prefer that instead of having them add things just for the sake of it.
