Pick now broadcasting the FNF alongside Sky One. DOG is better placed near the corner.
Unfortunately, Pick is still referred to as "Pick" and not Sky Pick. Possibly after the football, Sky Pick will be the name once ROI viewers return to normal Pick?

Do we know what the continuity for Pick (non-football) was like?
Didn't watch that but the continuity over the credits of the programme before said that the football coming up next wasn't available in the Republic of Ireland.
I wonder why they didn't swap Pick HD with the SD channel on Freesat, I can imagine there'll be a few confused people who don't make their way a few channels further down.
Well Pick have shown loads of non-Sky/Premiere shows like The Chase, Police, Camrea, Action, Brit Cops: Rapid Response, Road Wars and more so it’s not unusual, plus given that they only repeat Merlin on anything but Freeview like SyFy, it’s nice to have it back on Freeview 🤓
This whole Pick rebranding to Sky Pick appears to be a TV Forum wet dream thats spread like wildfire and got out of control.
No official press release from Sky, no magic rebrand before the football, all we have is just a pop up channel to show twenty odd matches, a freeview tweet with a mocked up logo, a few random newspapers like the 'Swindon Advertiser' claiming a new rebrand/launch of Sky Pick, and a few match listing reports from Sky Sports referring to 'Pick' in one breath, then 'Sky Pick' in another.
It's like when folk still refer to things on ITV as ITV1.
'Pick', 'Pick TV', 'Sky Pick', 'Sky's free to air Pick Channel'....it all referring to the same thing,......that's been broadcasting for several years already...Just using several different words depending on the audience the newspaper/article is speaking too.
25 matches from now, Pop up Pick disappears, soft SD Pick continue's and everyone moves on...."Keep moving please sir, nothing too see here".
