Sky are launching two "new" channels: Sky Crime next month and Sky Comedy next February, but how new will they be? Could they simply be rebrands of Sky 2 and Real Lives?
Now that Comcast owns Sky and together with their existing portfolio of NBC/Universal channels, could other changes be on the way? They own a awful lot of channels now. Some of the shows on Universal will transfer to Sky Crime, so could this channel get axed in the future and will Comcast change other channels perhaps to ensure consistent branding across their entire portfolio of channels? Perhaps Syfy may become Sky Fi??
From the VM changes thread:
Universal and VH-1 UK on the way out in January according to RXTVlog. Their source is BT.
Got a answer to my earlier query (highlighted above) Universal is going.
Some of the main shows on Universal are owned by ViacomCBS such as the NCIS and CSI franchises, so perhaps these shows will transfer over to one of the channels that they own, ultimately leaving each media company with its own content on its own channels.
