As long as Sky makes money from having Sky One and Sky Atlantic then I see no reason for it to drop one of these channels. As others have noted, the cost of running an extra channel is marginal if you already have rights to the content. And how many people might ask why their subscriptions are rising this month if the number of Sky channels is being reduced?

Absolutely - they’ve had shows which have originated from Australia like Upright and don’t forget some of Sky’s biggest critical and cultural hits have come from Italy and Germany like Gomorrah, The Young Pope, Das Boot and Babylon Berlin... I don’t think the name of the channel is as literal as it may have been back in 2011.
