Cable Forum - Merged:-Comcast makes Bid for Sky

Rumour: Sky to rebrand Sky Arts Channels?

I am hearing that Sky may also be set to rebrand their Sky Arts Channels.

Here is the new channels names that I was told of -

-Sky Arts
-Sky Arts HD
-Sky Arts “In Concert”
-Sky Arts “In Concert” HD

Bear in mind this post is an rumour and not been confirm by Sky.

Sky Rebrand the Arts channels all time, Just like they do with the Sports channel...Skysports Ashes for example. Unless you think this will be a permanent change?

They could call it "Sky fArts" for all I care. I am more interested in the content, not the name.

That is a good read. I found this very interesting:

"Despite only being at the start of this season’s EPL games the fact is Sky is barely 16 months away from having to start the negotiation all over again. And in that period every Tom, Dick & Harry sports-owner will be seeking a battle between Sky, BT and anyone else for those valuable rights. Will Al Jazeera Sport, for example, enter the bidding round?"

Speak for yourself pal I've cancelled my premiums , theres a simple answer if your not happy with the price DONT pay it. I will now sit tight and await an offer through the post if one doesn't arrive I'll make do with Chads FTA list and watch the odd time through Now TV , I already have movies for a £1 through Now TV.

Got to agree. I'm heading that way myself. Once my 50% off deal expires I can't see me keeping SKY Sports. There is an incredible amount of football for free on TV. We've also got 64 live games to look forward to in 10 months when Brazil 2014 kicks-off plus even more sport thanks to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
