On the bright side there aren’t any notable closures happening.

But you will need to be aware of some stations moving around.

Especially as a couple will vary depending on where you live in the UK.

So here’s a full list of all the Sky channel launches and changes to note for April.

SKY CHANNEL LAUNCHES

A much-loved brand in the world of sport is returning to Sky.

Premier Sports UK will return to the airwaves, buying back the channels it originally sold to Viaplay Group in July 2022.

This means Viaplay Sports 1 and 2 will essentially rebrand.

But you’ll still be able to watch the same coverage, including the Scottish Cup, Scottish League Cup, International football fixtures, LALIGA, URC, NHL and KSW.

Their existing channel numbers will remain unchanged.

Elsewhere, shopping channel Home Shop TV also lands on Sky satellite.

SKY CHANNEL CHANGES

A number of channel numbers have shifted on Sky in April.

Warner Bros Discovery’s DMAX station has moved up the programme guide on Sky satellite.

It takes the spot previously occupied by E!, which closed down in January.

Several themed channels will take on new names this month too.

And there some specific to NI and ROI only to watch out for.
