E4's biggest hit, US high school musical drama Glee, is heading for one of BSkyB's subscription channels.
A bidding war has been taking place between the satellite broadcaster and Channel 4 over the third series. Channel 4 executives are understood to be resigned to losing the show to Sky.
According to sources, Sky offered more than double the amount Channel 4 previously paid to Glee's US distributor, Twentieth Century Fox Distribution.
A Channel 4 source said: "We are not prepared to pay over the odds."
The Daily Star reported on Tuesday that Sky was prepared to pay about £500,000 an episode.
