It may even be an 'New Channel' after all.

Discovery may axe Travel & Living for TLC to launch like Discovery are doing around the europe.

TLC has replace Travel and Living in the following parts of europe:

TLC Poland (Since October 2010)

TLC Balkans (Since October 2010)
TLC Sweden (Since December 2010)
TLC Romania (Since January 2011)

In today's papers sky's awesome foursome adverts have changed. On the tv section it now says enjoy incredible shows on channels you won't find on free view? No mention of exclusive to sky anymore. Wonder if a deal has been done on Atlantic

I never think to deeply when looking at adverts. Perhaps it is just a change of target . ;)

It's more likely to be because Sky Atlantic will appear on the Now TV service in the next month or so. That's already been announced for early 2013

I don't see Sky Atlantic on a rival platform anytime soon , I believe Sky see exclusive content as the way to go something Netflix are starting to realise also , the content will soon be available on Now TV and available to everyone with the subscription money going direct to Sky , I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Possible - however the advert is very specific " Enjoy incredible shows on channels you won't find on Freeview" Would have thought it would say exclusive to Sky TV and Now TV subcribers if they wanted to keep it to themself.

Just checked the web advert though and it has some additional text which does refer to Atlantic being Sky exclusive - all very confusing - looks like my initial view was wrong


Enjoy incredible shows on channels you won't find on Freeview, including Sky1, Sky Living and Fox. Don't miss February's hotly anticipated US drama The Following starring Kevin Bacon on exclusive Sky Atlantic.

James Bond Channel to die again on February 25th on Sky Movies.

An Virgin Worker has told me that 'The TiVo guide shows the Bond programmes ending at 6am on 25th Feb'.

James Bond is broadcasting on Virgin Channel 410 (Also in HD on Virgin Channel 440) right now under the banner 'Sky Movies 007'.

You can already get sky Atlantic without subscribing to sky satellite tv.

You can get a skygo monthly pass.

So I don't see the point in now tv.
