 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?

 |  Indeed Chad and no doubt the price paid for these new rights will go up again and alas its us Joe Public who will be paying for it at the end of the day.

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.
