Sky One to launch new spinoffs
Published Friday, Jul 22 2005, 17:44 BST | By Neil Wilkes
Sky is planning to launch a new entertainment station in a shakeup of Sky One's spinoff offerings.
The broadcaster recently acquired a license allowing it to launch a channel called 'Sky Three' but has refused to elaborate on its purpose.
The prospect of a third station has been talked about for some time; initially its remit was thought to cover reality shows but more recently it was reported that the channel would be aimed at a female audience.
Broadcast speculates that the new launch would coincide with a rebrand of existing spinoff Sky Mix into 'Sky Two', a male-skewed service.
