Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreIf they are closing but not publicly announced, then any one sharing information would be breaching confidential information.
Where did you hear that they were closing?

I'd suggest it wouldn't be unreasonable for those to close: they are fairly redundant in content, branding and/or EPG slot.
Movies24 in particular really doesn't make sense now Sky is a division of Comcast alongside NBCU

With the exception of Sky Mix, the others mentioned in the opening post are (to best of my knowledge) are Sd only

Don't know where this rumour came although I don't think Sky Replay is needed, Movies24 should be relaunched as Sky Cinema Mix.

I would like a sky cinema mix channel and for sky to make that channel available free to air.

Thats essentially sky showcase. They tend to show at least 2 or 3 films a week on that from Sky Cinema.

Not really sure why you think Movies24 is redundant , maybe due a rebrand but although the Hallmark fare it serves up may not be yours or mine cup of tea i am not aware of another comcast channel in the UK offering this kind of output to those who do enjoy it.

I would highly suspect that SD versions of these channels are to close. Similar to what BBC are doing from 8 Jan (All BBC SD services closing) and ITV from 9 Jan (ITV are beginning to remove regional variations in SD: ITV Border Scotland, Channel TV, Wales, UTV and ITV3, ITV4, ITVBe SD are closing).
Also similar to what Sky have done with the Sky Cinema channels where the following are now HD only:
and the following in HD & SD:

NBC will be perfect to expand to the UK replacing Channel 4 as a broadcaster after making Kevin Spacey's documentary was unacceptable behaviour includes ITV facing a downfall with Post Office IT horizon scandal, which ITV will be replace by American Broadcasting Company as for Channel 5 to be replaced by CBS. It needs to happen this year and in 2025.

Not going to happen, Ofcom might have an awful lot to say about that as those are PSB Channels.
