Can't really tell you the last time I watched Sky One.
I'd prefer to have it in my channel lineup, but not at an extra cost of £5.
On the other hand I'd be a bit lost without Living or the UKTV channels.

Sort of. UKTV is a joint project between the BBC and Flextech, which IIRC was bought out by Virgin Media. Correct me if I'm wrong...
Flextech is no more. It's called Virgin Media Television.

I think I'm correct in saying that Virgin Media Television is in charge of distribution of the UKTV channels too. I read somewhere when BrightIdeas started on Freeview, it was their responsibility to negotiate carriage. So, with sit-up.tv that would mean the following channels are, in theory, under their control:

I would say those channels serve a substantial share of the multichannel audience.

The only BBC programmes I've heard teens talking about are Little Britain, Top Gear and Torchwood.
That's a very small amount compared to the rest of the programmes they talk about. Sky One and Living, Channel 4 all seem popular.
And as a public service broadcaster, the BBC should have more programming aimed at teens. That's why I think a teen brand is a good idea.

I know from personal experience that teens tend to steer away from anything with "teens" on it, which is why you need to be subtle. I did, however, like your BBC Teens mocks.

Good grief yes! The channel is much better nowadays than it was when it went through the boozy larger-lout phase which accompanied the orange era.
Still a long way to go though.

There are a couple of decent things on Sky One, and they do keep promising to try to push it upmarket a little, which to some extent they have achieved from what the channel was about 5 or 6 years ago.
