Sky Sports Xtra to become Sky Sports 4
Published Tuesday, Dec 29 2009, 20:37 GMT | By Andrew Laughlin
The change will come into effect from January 6, 2010, to bring Sky Sports Extra more in line with the overall Sky Sports branding.
The launch of Sky Sports 4 was first discussed on Digital Spy's Sky forum in February 2007, but it has taken almost three years for the rebranding to actually go ahead.
Speculation is now mounting that Sky Sports 4 HD will also follow in January to fit with the existing Sky Sports 1, 2 and 3 HD offerings.
