Sky Max will move to 109 when it rebrands to Sky One. This opens up slot 111 on the EPG, which is ideal for Sky Atlantic to sit next to Sky Witness, just like it does on Sky.

Sky Original drama on Sky Atlantic typically gets shown on Virgin Media anyway via Sky Showcase, and as Sky Showcase is closing down, they need a different channel to show it on that's accessible to us.

Without all the newer HBO content, Sky Atlantic is now of considerably less value, so this gives them less justification to withhold it from Virgin Media.

The Strangest thing about all of this, they never did it in Ireland at all.

tbh , Virgin don't really announce anything in advance anymore, it just happens , I wouldn't expect HBO Max app to be any different

I can't see it happening, but it would be good if they did. Incidentally, the new material being shown on Sky Atlantic has not been shown on Sky Showcase.

I have seen some news from a Media Boy UK source but info was given under NDA.

The programme shifts are starting. I have Last week tonight with John Oliver on series link on Sky comedy 112. There was a scheduled broadcast due on 16 February which has now disappeared. Today a new broadcast is showing on Sky Max 111 where it wasn't shown before.
