Sky Max will move to 109 when it rebrands to Sky One. This opens up slot 111 on the EPG, which is ideal for Sky Atlantic to sit next to Sky Witness, just like it does on Sky.

Sky Original drama on Sky Atlantic typically gets shown on Virgin Media anyway via Sky Showcase, and as Sky Showcase is closing down, they need a different channel to show it on that's accessible to us.

Without all the newer HBO content, Sky Atlantic is now of considerably less value, so this gives them less justification to withhold it from Virgin Media.

VM would've announced it long before now.

Interesting news that Discovery+ will remain as a standalone app with only TNT Sports content moving over to HBO Max.

Including this ;


There is no mention of it being available on Virgin Media.

Apparently it will also be available via Amazon Prime (unclear how).

It might also turn out to be somewhat short lived, if Netflix take over HBO.
