Internet service provider, Sky, is to implement numerous changes to its
electronic programme guide (EPG) starting February.
There will be a major reshuffling of the company's digital TV
channels from 1 February 2011, Sky has announced.
Changes will include the first-time launch of station Sky
Atlantic at position 108 on the EPG, as well as moving the recently
acquired Sky Living to channel 107.
For the 3.1 million subscribers to Sky's HD package, it may be
interesting to know that 40 high-definition channels will come in
the place of their standard-definition counterparts.
Other adjustments to the existing order of channels will include
moving Comedy Central, FX, MTV, Syfy and Universal to
higher-profile positions, the same being done with their HD
alternatives.
Sky's commercial director, Rob Webster, said:
"We've worked with a range of partner channels to ensure
that customers can find their favourite pay-TV channels and
programming as easily as possible."
