[QUOTE="william-1, post: 925145, member: 193781"] [SIZE=6][B]Sky Arts 2 to close[/B][/SIZE] 29 April, 2015 | By [URL='http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/peter-white/1100467.bio']Peter White[/URL] Sky is to merge its two arts channels and hand the newly created Sky Arts an improved slot on its EPG. [url]http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/sky-arts-2-to-close/5087113.article[/url] The pay-TV operator is to close Sky Arts 2, which airs archive shows including Tales of the Unexpected and The Judy Garland Show along with a raft of classical music and opera concerts, from 9 June. The channel entertained an all-hours average audience of 3,400 (0.04%) for the past twelve months, according to Barb data provided by overnights.tv. It is the latest linear channel to be axed by Sky after the company revealed earlier this week [URL='http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/sky-closes-3d-channel/5087076.article?blocktitle=Latest-News&contentID=2319']that it planned to turn Sky 3D into an on-demand service[/URL]. Sky Arts 1, currently located at channel 129, will be renamed Sky Arts and move up to slot 121, on the third page of Sky’s EPG. Replacing general entertainment channel Sky 2, it will sit just below ITV4. The broadcaster hopes that the move will boost the audience for original commissions such as Portrait Artist of the Year, The Great Culture Quiz, hosted by Anita Rani (pictured), and forthcoming competition Guitar Star. It is also planning to improve Sky Art’s presence on its on-demand service to make it simpler for viewers to access its classical concerts, ballet and rock documentaries. 3D virtually gone in a few months what else will go in the coming months ?? in favour of PPV :eek: [/QUOTE]
