TV channel to be axed permanently this week as part of newest shake-up
Sky is also renaming and moving several channels, while London TV remains available on Freeview and Virgin Media, officials said.
- Sky will permanently remove London TV from its listings on Tuesday as part of a broader channel shake-up beginning today.
- The removal follows the recent closure of Crime and Justice, which was available on channel 1024 via Sky Glass and Sky Stream, signaling continued platform consolidation.
- Multiple channels are undergoing name changes: SkyDecadesHD becomes SkyDirectorsHD, Sky Batman becomes Sky Pride, and Nick Jr Peppa becomes Nick Jr. Too.
- London TV remains accessible to viewers on Freeview channel 8 and Virgin Media channel 159, ensuring continuity despite removal from Sky's platform.
- Customers noticing missing channels should reboot their Sky box to refresh the Electronic Programme Guide, while Freeview users face four concurrent updates requiring similar retuning steps.
