Sky has confirmed the return of iconic channel Sky One, which will launch on 24 February on channel 106. The relaunched channel replaces Sky Showcase and Sky Max, bringing together new and returning entertainment programmes in one place.
Sky One will become the home of Sky’s comedy and entertainment shows, including new series The Dyers’ Caravan Park and Gemma Collins: Four Weddings and a Baby, as well as returning favourites Rob & Romesh Vs.., The Paper and Ted. The channel will also host Saturday Night Live UK, which is set to launch later this year.
Carli Kerr, MD of Sky TV & NOW, said: 'Our goal is to make it easier than ever for Sky TV customers to find and enjoy the shows they love. Building on the iconic heritage of Sky One, the channel will be a one-of-a-kind destination that’s big, bold and bursting with energy.'
Sky One joins Sky’s existing channel lineup, which includes Sky Atlantic, Sky Comedy, Sky Witness, Sky Crime, Sky Nature and Sky Documentaries. The move comes as HBO Max prepares to launch in the UK and Ireland in late March, which may affect Sky’s content agreements.
