Hmm my Sky seems to have only moved Sky Sports Mix, the channels have been renamed but no sign of Sky Sports Arena, is this affecting anyone else?

Yes, but I imagine this is why they have got Good Morning Sports Fans simulcast across all the channels (apart from Mix and Open), as they probably foresaw something such as this happening.

Arena and Football don't appear to have launched yet - or at least they're not on the EPG.

As if by magic, Looks like they might have just appeared!

Beat me to it!

Still looks like they're charging more for HD, I was hoping that would change. But the SD is adequate.

Ok, i'm going to be honest here, I expected this branding to fail and flop badly, but from what I saw on-screen, they've done a pretty good job to be honest.

Looks like no new graphics for Sky Sports News, just a logo change.


Wonder if we might see a change when Soccer Saturday begins in a couple of weeks?

No new graphics? You must be looking at a different channel to me then...

I only caught a 10 second glimpse. The L bar graphics hadn't changed. Didn't see the other graphics. Obviously, they've changed..



bkman1990 and paul_hadley gave kudos

At first glance you might be forgiven for thinking that since the L-bar looks (mostly) the same, as is the music and the font.

But everything else is refreshed, and very different in some cases (the TOTH is completely different).

One interesting thing from this Sky Sports rebrand is At The Races doesn't seem to have been included in the changes despite using the Sky Sports colours and logo font. Unless they want to spring a surprise on us at 9am when they've finished showing Australian racing?

The other brands loosely connected to sky haven't changed or are not likely not to change imho
