Digital Spy have added a new feature to the website. It's a sort of preview of what channel launches and events are coming up on Sky. From what launches are expected, it seems this spring is going to be a busy one.
Here's what we can expect from Spring 2005 -

Inspiration - launches next week

LifeTV +1 - launches week commencing April 11th (didn't know this was planned)

Fashion TV - returns wc April 18th (that a good or bad thing?)

RTE One and Two - launch on Sky NI EPG Lineup wc April 18th

TG4 - launches wc April 18th

Bad Movies and Matinee Movies - launches wc April 25th

Travel Channel 3 - launches wc April 25th (I hope they don't make this another crappy travel channel, like Travel Channel 2 which is sometimes on from midnight - 1am & that's it. Hopefully this will be a genuinely good channel & not more rubbish to clutter up the EPG!)

Vegas 24/7 - launches wc April 25th

Events to look forward to in the autumn include the launch of More4 and Faze TV & now the 'major overhaul' of the EPG!!!

NEWS ALERT - oh, and also Discovery Home & Leisure will be rebranded to Discovery Real Time on May 12th!

what do you think of these channel launches? Any in particular you are looking forward to or not bothered? I've also heard today that Men & Motors is to be rebranded to ITV4 in May as well. Oh well, RIP GSB!

More4 IS going to be on freeview! Ch4 have enough capacity to launch both it and E4 onto the platform, which is widely expected by the end of the year.
