Sky is moving 40 TV channels TODAY in latest major shake-up – check new numbers on your box now
SKY has made some changes to the channel numbers on its satellite service this week in a fresh shake-up.
It’s been a busy month for Sky, with a number of channels already closing and launching.
At the start of the month, music fans lost five beloved channels, including 4Music, The Box, Kiss, Magic and Kerrang.
The Box was the longest running of the bunch, having been on air for 32 years.
Fortunately, a new channel came along to fill the void in the form of Now 90s and 00s.
The changes led to a few channel shifts in the music section recently.
But now Sky is tweaking channel numbers in another part of the TV listings.
And this time, it’s the international section.
The move has been described as a “gap closure” on Sky’s website.
New channel numbers only affect satellite, so Sky Q and Sky+HD, not Sky Glass and Sky Stream.
Here’s the full list of changes with their new numbers:
- Zee Cinema moves from 709 to 708
- MATV National moves from 711 to 709
