Sky One is off to the EPG in the erm, Sky… Showcase and Max are the new channel brands…

It reads to me like Sky has basically moved all Sky Original shows to Sky Max and Showcase will basically be showing bits from all the other channels.

They don't mention Sky Replay but Sky Showcase sounds like Replay in concept, even though it's getting Sky 1's slot on Satellite. So maybe Replay is being axed? Pick is basically SkyReplay+1or2Years, so isn't really needed, so it makes sense to me.

Sky’s press release does appear to stress that Sky Atlantic “…will remain the exclusive home of high-concept original dramas such as Landscapers, I Hate Suzie, Gangs of London and Chernobyl, as well as being the home of drama from HBO and Showtime.”


Looks like the Atlantic content will not be on Showcase and the dream still eludes Virgin subscribers…

Well they were previously NBCU channels before Sky took operational control - if I had to guess, there may still be some outstanding carriage deals struck by NBCU that still have to run - thinking places like Virgin and Vodafone in Ireland and any legacy tv subscribers from Talktalk… Virgin’s U.K. deal with Sky in 2019 covered those NBCU channels.

After over 10 years it looks like the only way to get Sky Atlantic is via a NOW Stick for VM subscribers

After 10 years anyone who wants Sky Atlantic should have it by now - why, oh why are we still wittering on about it - those that want it should go and get it and then we can all move on (please). :mad:

SYFY is a global brand so that'll be staying, movies24 might aswell change that to romancemovies or even better crapmovies.
