Ringside
Revista de la Liga
The F1 Show
WWE Superstars (Not sure if this has always been on SKY 2)

I've also noticed that they've introduced programming that isn't a direct repeat of shows from SKY 1 that have been shown in the last few days like XIII and The Pacific.

So why is this interesting? About 10 months ago I was part of a research group with SKY in regards to a new proposed channel for a male audience focused on sport and American "adrenaline" and entertainment programming. One of the proposed names for the new channel was SKY Bravo.

I think we are seeing the new channel taking form in front of our very eyes with SKY 2 being re-branded as SKY Bravo in the very near future.
I think you could be right.

On channel 121 would see it 3 pages in on the Sky EPG , isn't ITV Encore going to take channel 123 taken currently by Sky Living +1 it appears there could be a shakeup , wouldn't surprise me if we saw a channel going as well.

Do they need to negotiate with other platforms if a channel simply rebrands ?
No as Sky own the channel aslong as they stay within guidelines they can rebrand it as often or to what they like without asking or negotiating with anyone else. Not 100% certain but i think they would have to notify Ofcom so the license info can be updated but that's about all i think.
