None of the channels you mention in your post are Sky channels. Sky have no control over their content or what they call themselves.

If Freesat/Freeview serves your viewing needs then paying for access to the Sky EPG (and Sky-branded channels) would seem unnecessary.  That's kind of the point of the platforms with 'free' in the name, really.

CBS is apparently closing 'Justice' on all four major UK platforms (Freeview Channel 69, Freesat 137, Sky 148 and Virgin Media 192): this is most likely because their parent company is starting a transition from broadcast to streaming into the Paramount+ app.  CBS Drama is getting a makeover into ' RealityXtra... an extension of sister channel CBS Reality, airing a mixture of legal dramas and true-crime programming  ': having no subscription income inevitably means they are looking for cost-savings so these are likely to be repeats of what 'Reality' covers anyway, and 'Judge Judy' is cheap airtime filler ; )

Earlier this month Sony sold its UK TV channels to a US investment firm called Narrative Capital. A company which invests in “the entire life cycle and global distribution of intellectual property”, Narrative has bought the channels and licensed the same content – everything from the Sony movie library, plus a load of TV shows – but decided to give it a new name.

The pact covers Sony’s seven free-to-air channels, including Sony Movies, Sony Movies Action, Sony Movies Classic, Sony Channel, POP, Tiny POP and POP Max, as well as the brands’ various digital assets.

The Sony-labeled channels will be rebranded, with a new look unveiled on May 25, and all brands will sit under the Narrative Entertainment banner.
