This post may have been better suited in the Freight Dogs bit but anyway...
I understand ABR bought some of the EXS Fk27s (along with spares & crew) & the Gatwick flights are simply the current Channex flights but will be in future, operated by Air Contractors (using the formers Fk27s).
There was speculation (in Freight dogs) that Air Contractors were looking at replacing the ex BAC Express & Channel Express F27s with ATR42/72s.

However, Coventry flights are for Parcel Force, who despite being part of the Royal Mail, Parcel Forces flight ops are completely seperated from Royal Mails ops.

To clear up any misunderstanding:
Application to fly Southampton/Guernsey and Southampton/Jersey has been applied for as a scheduled cargo routes.
Application granted to fly Bournemouth?Guernsey as a scheduled cargo route.
See http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/213/1676.pdf for official confirmation.

Looks like it could be an interesting challenge to the BOH freight flights operated by Air Contractors (ex-Channex). Would make particular sense if they can secure the flower and general freight business previously covered by Channel Express. As most of this traffic originates or terminates well to the east of BOH then SOU would be a good choice, at least geographically. For quite a few years these flights operated from BOH because of the tie up between Channex operating newspaper and mail flights overnight and having available aircraft for the C.I. flights during the day. Now however this is not the case and the other (non-aviation) freight companies in the Dart Group may prefer to use an airport nearer to their current operating areas. And there has been a good working relationship between Channex and Emerald over the years.

JER and GCI are also closed at night so no problem with the proposed routes. However can't see Emerald having their aircraft grounded at SOU all night when the rest of the cargo fleet is at it's busiest.
Sure somewhere out of the way could be found for parking, after all they won't need the terminal.
