Smithsonian Channel will cease transmission on 6th January 2023 and move to the Paramount+ streaming service.

What a shame! :rolleyes:- Smithsonian content is generally pretty good with some of the most interesting programmes.

I wonder if it will still be available with a SKY subscription in the UK????

It's included with Sky Cinema or you can pay extra for the app on Sky Q.

As I said, we have Sky Cinema - but I can't (as yet?) find any trace of Smithsonian there. So where did/can you find it (if, indeed, it is there)?

Supposedly Smithsonian content is now on Paramount+ which is included with Sky Cinema. My box isn't connected to the internet so I haven't checked.

Thx but, having now taken a look at the Paramount+ section of Sky Cinema, I can't see Smithsonian anywhere, nor do the titles of any of the subsections look promising because they are all "typical entertainment/movies".

Therefore, at least ATM, that option doesn't seem likely.

FWIW, this is what the Smithsonian UK website says in terms of the currently available sources.
