Not remarkable at all. The entire industry is moving to Internet distribution. 
vMVPD bundles have been hyped for several years, and are finally becoming real 
products.

It is the nature of content owners to sell to any middleman willing to pay the 
price...

And they will be happy to cut exclusive deals if the price is right.

Internet for at least a year, if not longer. This is just natural evolution.
