Channel Changes
Sky has announced several rebrands that affect Virgin Media watchers with the same channels.
From today, three channels have changed their name in the TV shake-up which will affect Virgin Media TV Viewers.
SkySportsTheLions has rebranded to SkySp Action/SkySp ActionHD, reverting from a previous temporary change.
And in a temporary change, Nick Jr. Too has renamed to Nick Jr. Paw Patrol.
Nicktoons has also been renamed in a temporary change to Nick SpongeBob.
Upcoming Changes
There will be further channel changes on Friday 25th July 2025 that will affect Virgin Media customers.
In a temporary change Sky Sports Action will be renamed to SkySp Lions / SkySp Lions HD.
And reverting from a temporary change - Sky Buddy Films will change its name to Sky Comedy HD
Sky Hits will change to Antiheroes HD in a temporary change.
And Sky Family will be renamed to SkySchoolsOut / SchoolsOutHD.
Sky is bringing back TWO channels tomorrow after they disappeared from TV guides
The reasons behind channel changes
The broadcasting giant typically only announces channel swaps for Sky customers for the week ahead.
These TV guide shake-ups can take place for a number of reasons.
Sometimes Sky will be forced to close channels – either due to a lack of interest, or because the channel operator has decided to pull it.
But Sky doesn't run all channels broadcast on TV, so some closures are out of their control.
Sky will also rebrand channels due to demand, to test a content type, or to tie in with an event or holiday (like Easter weekend).
The TV titan made dozens of these changes in April, including the permanent closure of several channels.
Shut-down channels included POP Max, POP Max HD, POP Max+1, Sky History+1, and the satellite broadcast of Sky History 2 HD.

Bonnie Blue sex fame hides a dark reality laid bare in new Channel 4 documentary
Bonnie Blue insists she is happy but there is a cost to her fame and she does not live a normal life Bonnie Blue has made millions from porn, inviting multiple fans to have sex with her and posting film of what some people would call orgies, but she calls 'events', online. Her biggest event was in January, when she had sex with 1,057 men in 12 hours, the inspiration for the title of a new Channel 4 documentary, 1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story. At a screening of the documentary, Bonnie insisted she was 'very happy' with her life. But her notoriety, and her boasts of sex with married men, who, she says, should not feel guilty about cheating on their wives, come at a price. In the film, Bonnie, a 26-year-old former NHS recruitment worker from Derbyshire, whose real name is Tia Billinger, says: 'The last time I went out by myself was probably about six months ago. Now it is not that safe. 'I get 100s of death threats a day, so it is not that safe when I walk around. 'I say, 'It is going to happen at some point, someone will come and give me stick' and fair play to her, at least they are getting up off their sofa. My worst one is acid, if someone did acid, and I could see some spiteful girl doing that.' Bonnie has split from her husband and her closest friends seem to be Josh, who posts her videos, and a stylist. She says: 'My sort of circles got smaller, but my team are also my best friends.' Director Victoria Silver followed Bonnie for six months, gathering footage of her having sex, and was at her January marathon for a couple of hours. At the documentary screening, Bonnie expressed surprise at the amount of explicit footage used. Asked if she was expecting complaints, Victoria said: 'If I was making a film about a musician or some kind of other performer their work would be in there. I think it is important to see what she does.' And Bonnie is clearly proud of her work. Of her sex marathon, she says: 'I love the fact that I was able to experience that day with over 1,000 subscribers, fans, people that spent time out of the day to come meet me. 'But, yeah, I also need money to be able to take time out of my days to be able to do that, to hold these events. These events aren't cheap by the time you pay for staff, security, the venue.' But she says she has earned more than £1million in some months, and the documentary shows the increasingly extreme lengths she will go to for clicks and views. In one stunt, she creates a school classroom for a sex show, with other, younger, contributors taking part after being sent invites. The director's voiceover says they are not paid but 'appearing in their socials with Bonnie is payment enough'. At the shoot in Birmingham, one girl called Codie says: 'She got quite big quite fast, so it will be nice to see how she does things. No, I am not being paid today, it'd just be that I get tagged and then hopefully get followers and subs from that and then roll on to my page.' She admits she does not normally do anything 'adventurous' on her OnlyFans page and that this is the first time she has taken part in filmed group sex. She adds that making sex films is better than having to do an office job. Another contributor, Leah, says: 'I got a DM to see if I wanted to take part. As soon as I heard Bonnie Blue's name I was intrigued because she's everywhere at the minute.' Leah says this is the first time she has been with other people in a room having sex and she is 'definitely' nervous. But Bonnie does not seem bothered or concerned by the fact the girls look a bit shy and intimidated. Bonnie says: 'The fact they are so nervous works in my favour, because their reactions will be more realistic. Or if they feel intimidated, obviously, I want them to say, but sometimes sex is intimidating, so it's going to be good.' Another scene shows Bonnie at home with mum Sarah, who speaks with pride about how her daughter was a great dancer as a child. She also seems proud of her career as a porn star. She says: 'Would it be something that I chose for her to do, no. I was really, really shocked, but now would I want her to do anything else? No, not at all. It's her choice.' Sarah and other relatives have given up their jobs to be on Bonnie's payroll. Sarah says: 'People I know always liked us both, but think it's OK to make nasty comments. 'Most of the time I just laugh. I'm like, 'If you could earn a million pounds in a month, your morals would soon change, and you'd get your bits out'. I don't care what people say.' Bonnie says: 'My family started to put up with hate, I get that, but I also get the life I live and the money. So it's like I also want them to receive some of the rewards.' The documentary ends as Bonnie is about to head to Romania to meet influencer Andrew Tate, who is facing rape and human trafficking charges, which he denies, and is a self proclaimed misogynist. Bonnie says: 'He's probably just as controversial as I am. Whether people love him or hate him, he's a marketing genius.' Director Victoria asks her: 'You talk about female empowerment, but how do you square that with aligning yourself with the most misogynistic male on the internet?' Bonnie says: ' Piers Morgan interviews serial killers all the time. It's not messed up his brand. He [Tate] has been labelled multiple things by the media, and so have I. We're probably the two most misunderstood people out there at the moment.' Channel 4 defended the documentary, telling the Mirror: 'The explicit content is editorially justified and provides essential context.' And at the screening, commissioning editor Tim Hancock said: 'We are very proud to do films like this.' * 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, Channel 4, Tuesday, 10pm.

Michelle Keegan shows off jaw-dropping toned physique just four months after birth
Michelle Keegan showcased a toned and trim physique during a work out session just four months after the birth of her baby daughter Palma Wright in March Michelle Keegan took to social media and shared with fans her post-baby body. The 38 year old actress, who gave birth to her daughter Palma in March, posted a selfie while at her Reformer Pilates class. Wearing a black crop top teamed with matching leggings, the Fool Me Once star looked trim and toned. With her hair tied up in a loose bun, she captioned the post saying: "Love a Sunday class." And it looks as though it's not just her exercise regime that has resumed, so too has her work schedule. Michelle, who shot to fame in as Tina McIntyre Coronation Street, flew to Bulgaria to start filming her latest project and shared with fans a few behind-the-scenes pictures. It remains unknown the title of her latest work project but it appears it is linked to Sky. And it has also been reported that the wife of former TOWIE star Mark Wright has also landed a six-figure advertising deal with Sky. In one picture, she is seen sat among the crew in Bulgaria in a line of directors chairs, which reportedly confirmed that she is involved in a collaboration between Sky Creative and B2Y Productions. She captioned the series of pictures saying: "Bulgaria files… with the best of the best." The eye-watering deal will see Michelle film a number of promotional clips alongside actor Idris Elba, who has already shot promo clips for the broadcaster in the past. Michelle's work out picture is not the first time she has shared with fans how well she has snapped back following the birth of her daughter. Earlier this month, Michelle modelled her latest swimwear line with Orfila Bee fashion line. In one snap, she is seen wearing a brown bikini and a straw cowgirl hat. She completed the look with a large loose fitting white shirt and a matching sarong. She captioned her post saying: "We really did make the chicest cover up @orfilabee." And her fans were quick to comment. One person wrote: "Thought she just had a baby?" Meanwhile another said: "How have you just birthed a child?" It has been recently reported that Michelle has been left conflicted over her decision to go back to work and her new role as a mother. A source told the Mirror: "Michelle has always been a hard worker, so she's torn between staying at home with Palma and getting back out there." They added: "It's not an easy industry – you're self-employed so you never know when your next job might be. It's still really early days, but these are the questions she's asking herself, because she's very much in demand. Everything Michelle touches lately seems to turn to gold."
