Hi @MaccyD221 

The channel is going through a rebrand...

@KevNewMedia 
For That's TV 2:
Is there any schedule information at this time? Or is it just the description of the channel and the channel name that is known currently?

Thanks,

j0sh

Hi @j0shg1nger 

Welcome to the Sky Community!

I wouldn't expect the EPG listings to appear until we're in the 7 day broadcast window.

[JW22]

E! has already Closed so the Date

needs to change from the 3rd of January

to the 1st of January

[xenon81]

Although E! closed today 3rd of January is the date it will be removed from the EPG.

Hey @jamesrobinson6 

No problem at all - it's easy done 😀

[jamesrobinson6]

Thank you. 😊

According to the EPG, the BBC SD channels end on Monday morning.

I suspect there will be a period where a info card is displayed, hence Sky not advising that the channels are being removed from their EPG just yet.
