Sky One Returns on Channel 106 to Replace Sky Showcase and Sky Max

The consolidation is designed to simplify navigation by tying channels to Sky’s new streaming bundles.

Overview

  • Sky One is now live across Sky Glass, Stream and Q, with access for customers on Ultimate TV, Signature and Sky+ packages.
  • The relaunched channel combines new Sky Originals with returning favourites and will be the UK home of Saturday Night Live later this year.
  • Sky Q, Glass and Stream guides are being reorganized, with moves that include Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime, Sky Arts, Challenge, Sky Sci‑Fi and Sky Nature shifting to new channel numbers.
  • Additional changes include the closure of Sky Nature ROI SD in favour of the UK feed and rebrands such as Wild Worlds to GhostbustersHD and Sky Cult Classics to HorrorHitsHD.
  • Sky is promoting a £24-per-month Ultimate TV bundle that adds ad-supported Netflix and Disney+ from March, HBO Max Basic with Ads from March 26, and Hayu content expanding from March into July.
