Hallo there
Curious as to what the ratings are for some of the lesser-known channels on SKY. Thousands? Hundreds? Tens? I can't imagine Horse & Country raking in the millions!

It's unlikely you'd be able to get BARB figures for a channel like Horse & Country - some channels register too low to be able to give a figure. Also IIRC H&C is on one of the access channels (like Information TV) along with lots of other services

How does it work with BARB? Do channels have to sign up and pay them to be a part of it and to get their figures, in the same way as radio stations have to with RAJAR?
