Sky has revealed adjustments to its TV channel lineup, set to take effect imminently. Sky Showcase and Sky Max are among the channels that will be discontinued starting February 24. However, to compensate for these closures, Sky is reintroducing the beloved Sky One channel.
Launching tomorrow, Sky One will provide subscribers with a variety of engaging comedy and entertainment programs, including new series like The Dyers’ Caravan Park and Gemma Collins: Four Weddings and a Baby. In addition to fresh content, returning favorites such as Rob & Romesh Vs.., The Paper, and Ted will also be part of the lineup.
Furthermore, Sky One will become the home of Saturday Night Live UK, premiering later this year. Carli Kerr, MD of Sky TV & NOW, expressed excitement about the channel’s return, emphasizing its unique offering of new and beloved content.
Sky One will be accessible on channel 106 starting tomorrow. In addition to the channel launch, Sky is introducing a new plan called Ultimate TV, priced at £24 per month. This plan will grant customers access to Disney+, Netflix, Hayu, and the upcoming HBO Max app, along with over 130 premium channels like Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries, and Sky Crime.
Moreover, subscribers to the Ultimate TV plan will enjoy a dedicated Disney movie channel within the TV guide, simplifying access to Hollywood hits without navigating the Disney+ app. The plan’s comprehensive offering includes Netflix Standard with Ads, Disney+ Standard with Ads (from March), HBO Max Basic with Ads (from March 26th), Hayu (available from July with select shows in March), and over 130 Sky channels.
