There is a reason why it was a big gap to fill on certain HD/SD channels, have lost both franchises. Apparently being in the same genre and removes 101-999 blank. Was a great idea, if sky had been shuffled up to only unallocate the EPG would look something like this.

I don't know if this is still true, but Sky rent out or allows companies to buy their EPG space. So, this is possibly a reason when the That's TV and Now music channels haven't moved up yet. However, we don't get to decide our channel numbers for Sky, except for Favourites.

The broadcasters own the slots on Satellite (unlike on Stream)

Will be officially announced this week from what i read elsewhere

[Anonymous]

@Timelord2018 thanks for your reply, can you kindly provide the link where you have seen this elsewhere please 

[Timelord2018]

Still no official announcement but Sky Showcase and Sky Max look like holding patterns  looking at their schedules up to 20th February.

It isn't going to be a good look reversing something you did only 4 and half years ago and been planning to reverse for at least 6 months at that, so maybe don't expect much advance notice will see if something is announced early next week.

Moving the Sky One pre September 2021 Comedy output off Sky Comedy at the end of 23rd February is the biggest indicator.

Hello. I'm new to the forum and i heard rumours about what I call it a 'big refresh' to Sky's Entertainment channels.

I'm talking about television presentation and logo designs but not the channels themselves. On Pres Cafe, I heard some speculation that the refresh would come by the end of next month. If it's a big refresh, here's how it would describe the rumoured refresh: Spectrum glow on outside of logo, refreshed imagery, gradients and backgrounds etc, new headline font (within the same Sky font family).

I reckon there shall an official confirmation about it within this week or next week but who knows. I also heard rumours about the return of Sky One next month. So my thoughts on the rumours about the refresh is wild but okay neitherless. So any ideas about the rumoured refresh may come next month (February)?

[Timelord2018]

Pretty sure it is true, 

Sky Entertainment pay logos were removed from the Sky website back in September
