Hallmark climbs 20 places up Sky EPG

Hallmark Channel will ascend 20 places in the Sky EPG next month, it has been confirmed.

The NBCU-owned station will move from channel 150 to a more prominent position at channel 130 on Monday, July 6. In its new home, Hallmark will sit alongside sister station Sci Fi, usurping timeshift service Sci Fi+1, which moves to 205.

Hallmark's timeshift service will move from 205 to 150 at the same time.

"Having our two flagship channels side-by-side on the SKY EPG will be a huge benefit to our Sky viewers," said Laurence Dawkin-Jones, MD of NBCU Global Networks UK. "Not only will they be able to find their favourite shows even quicker but navigating between the two channels will be much easier. A prominent position for Hallmark also means the channel will become more accessible to the broader Sky audience."
