It's pretty poor PR (and salesmanship) to announce something then not follow through pretty rapidly with the details.
Exactly; when the Sky basic channels came back in 2008, they had placeholder channels up within a few days and the channels launched the week after. There's no reason to announce this now and then make us wait so long, especially as they're mainly promoting having the F1 in HD, and the F1 season has only just started.

If the channels don't launch within a short timeframe then they really need to ask themselves, is it better to announce now and then make people wait until an unspecified date, or announce it closer to the time?
