Sky Three programming lineup revealed

Sky has lifted the lid on the programming lineup for new general entertainment station Sky Three.

The FTA channel will launch across all platforms on October 31, including Freeview, where it will replace Sky Travel.

Some of the more popular travel programming is retained by Sky Three, with Airline, Undercover Customs and Far Flung Floyd all getting daily slots.

Lifestyle shows include Maureen Lipman in Search of Style, House Sitters and The Filth Files while the popular magazine Braniac: Science Abuse has been earmarked for a daily 6pm slot.

Sky News' new 5pm show will simulcast on Sky Three, as will Sky Travel Shop at various intervals through the day.

Primetime programmes largely come from the Sky One library, airing on a delay of around eighteen months. Shows on the launch slate include 24 season three, Jake 2.0, Tru Calling and Oliver Beene.
