Bravo to be kept afterall but just rebranded?

Just been looking ahead at the listings and it turns out that Bravo and Bravo 2 continue on January the 1st - the only one ceasing is Bravo +1.

Now this made me think, the only thing Sky has officially said is Bravo is finished. I wonder if come January 1st it'll be rebranded as something else, seems quite odd. You'd expect them all to say programmes no longer available.

    False alarm. They all cease on Jan 1st. Challenge Jackpot turns into a foreign channel.

    The only one they are keeping is LIVING (which will become Sky Living)

    They had better be replacing these channels as that'll be about 5 or 6 going.

    I've only counted Channel One, Bravo & Bravo 2 being closed. What are the others you've heard about?

    As Sky Atlantic is a new channel, that means we're only down by 2 channels. Unless I'm missing something.

    Channel One and +1
    Bravo and its +1
    Bravo 2
    That makes Five closing

    Sky Atlantic and the +1 and HD service launch in February

    Stay in touch with what's going on here and every week from January (on hols at the moment)

    As Atlantic is going on epg 107 and Sky Living on 108.. This I presume means that Sky2 & Sky3 are closing also.

    BBC One HD launched on 143 that was where BBC HD channel was. It never closed it moved to 169.

    Sky2 and Sky3 will ALSO move EPG slots. They are not shutting down. :rolleyes:

    They will move them no doubt to Bravo 1 / +1 slots :)

    I'd shuffle Sky3 and Sky3+1 together.

    Living's current slot is possible on 112 for Sky2.

    There will be no Sky Atlantic +1 and Challenge Jackpot is closing at the same time as Bravo

    +1s aren't channels in their own right, so the true number of channels closing is just 3. :rolleyes:

    Where you get the EPG numbers from.. Sky said 107 for Atlantic! or have they changed it again!

    If you look at the screenshot of the epg Sky have released it clearly shows Sky1 at 106, Sky Living at 107 and Sky Atlantic at 108.

    You can understand why.

    Sky Atlantic and Living on a higher slot is more likely to generate more viewers than Sky2 showing Bravo or Sky1 repeats.

    They may decide to give them both a rebrand anyway. Sky Extra (Sky2) and Sky Extra 2 (Sky3)? Along those lines.

    That would be a backward step to the Sky One Mix days. 'Extra' channels just sound like timeshifts and not anything new.

    Unless they're going to rename Sky1, then there is no point rebranding Sky2/3.

    Don't get too worried or excited it's only a small site shop!!

    I would hazard a guess they are simply moved to 112 and 113 respectively.
