Universal TV has now finished and still on the Sky Guide.

Oddly, the EPG has listed "This is Universal Channel", a name it's not had since early 2018.

Maybe as replacements of Nat Geo and Nat Geo Wild?

Either way, I doubt Sky would want to keep the joint venture with Nat Geo UK, now

It's owned by Fox (Walt Disney). Sky don't (according to Wiki) have a share in it anymore.

Just a generic “Universal TV has ceased transmission” slide.

And if you thought Sky was going to take a break from launching new channels, you haven't seen the last of it.

"Sky Documentaries" will broadcast HBO and Showtime documentaries, while "Sky Nature" will show LoveNature programming as well as the David Attenborough originals. These channels will launch in spring.

And it seems like Sky are becoming UKTV pre-2008.

Honestly, these two will be refreshing and different additions to the Sky family of channels.
