Sky reshuffles shows after Bravo closure

Sky has announced a reshuffle of its entertainment content lineup in response to the closure of Bravo, including Spartacus: Blood And Sand coming to Sky1.



On January 1, the Bravo channels - acquired by Sky last June as part of the £160m deal to purchase the Living TV Group - ceased broadcasting on all digital TV platforms, including Sky and Virgin Media.

The satellite broadcaster opted to scrap long-running cable channel Bravo because it serves a similar demographic to Sky1. Channel One, previously Virgin1, will also shut down at some point this year.

Sky has reallocated some of Bravo's most popular programmes to its other entertainment channels, starting with Spartacus: Blood And Sand moving to Sky1.

Other Bravo shows to find a new home on Sky will include Leverage, Dog The Bounty Hunter, Star Trek, TNA Wrestling, Sun, Sea And A & E, Motorway Patrol, Highway Patrol and Caribbean Cops.

More details will be supplied shortly, and viewers can use Sky's Never Miss service to sign up for updates on when the shows will return and on which channel.
