Anyone who has subscribed to the Sky cinema package will have to prepare for major changes very soon. A transmitter is even switched off completely.
- Sky plans major changes to the pay TV provider's Cinema package.
- As of March, a transmitter will even be completely eliminated.
- However, the innovation has advantages for thriller fans.
Munich - While almost everyone has a Netflix or Amazon Prime subscription these days, others remain loyal to the pay TV provider Sky . The advantage: If you don't want to worry about which film or series you're interested in, you can comfortably enjoy linear television.
Sky complements the classic TV offering with countless own channels. And if you don't want to pay for all of these additional offers, you can choose between separate packages that only include sports, film or series content, for example. Sky is now making a number of extensive changes to one of these packages: There are innovations in the cinema channels.
Good news for thriller fans: Sky introduces new channel
From March 12, subscribers to the Cinema package will have to be prepared for several new features. One is particularly gratifying: With the new Sky Cinema Thriller station , there will be a dedicated channel for exciting films in the future.
In addition, the slot of the Sky Cinema premieres, which are broadcast in the "Film of the Week" category, is changing. Instead of Sundays at 8:15 p.m., viewers will have to tune in every Friday at 8:15 p.m.
Sky says goodbye to a broadcaster
However, one broadcaster falls victim to the restructuring. Specifically, it is Sky Cinema Emotion , on which mostly romances run. There should not be a replacement channel for love films, so viewers will probably be able to see individual works of the genre on other channels from March. The Pay TV provider is also canceling Sky Cinema +1 .
The media magazine DWDL also reports that there will be no innovations with regard to Sky Cinema Action and Sky Cinema Family . The other stations are only affected by name changes:
old name | New name |
|---|---|
Sky cinema | Sky Cinema premieres |
Sky cinema hits | Sky Cinema Best of |
Sky cinema nostalgia | Sky Cinema Classics |
Sky Cinema Comedy | Sky Cinema Fun |
