What are Sky's early termination fees?
SKY TV customers will incur an early termination fee if they choose to cancel their contract before the end of the agreed minimum term.
The amount you're charged depends on: How long is left of your minimum term from the date your subscriptions end, calculated in days
The days you have already been billed for in advance
The products you subscribe to, the price you pay for them and when your subscriptions end
For Sky TV, early termination charges range from £14.00 to £42.89 per month, depending on the specific package.
For instance, if you cancel a standard Sky TV package priced at £33.82 per month with 12 months remaining on a 24-month contract, you would be required to pay the remaining 12 months' fees in one lump sum.
This would result in a total early termination fee of £405.84.
The beloved channel will be rebranded as ITV Quiz.
Those looking for any of their favourite channels named here need to make sure they're aware of these new names.
If you're looking for a new Sky deal, customers can get Sky Stream & Essential TV for just £15/month.
The company is also giving Sky customers an upgrade for popular TV app filled with top movies.

Shock number of pubs closing EVERY week in Britain revealed – with crippling Labour tax hikes blamed
Experts warn the squeeze on pubs is intensifying LAST ORDERS Shock number of pubs closing EVERY week in Britain revealed – with crippling Labour tax hikes blamed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EIGHT pubs are closing down every week in Britain amid crippling running costs and tax hikes, figures show. Boozer bosses have blamed Labour policies for the 'heartbreaking' rate of closures. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Government figures show 209 pubs were shut in the first half of the year. That brings the total number of pubs calling a permanent last orders in the past five years to 2,283. Industry chiefs said the employer National Insurance rise and increasing staff costs were responsible. Hospitality venues have also seen their business rates discount slashed, which has saddled the sector with an extra £215million of tax. Supported by The Sun's Save Our Sups campaign, pub bosses are asking Chancellor Rachel Reeves for relief in the autumn Budget. Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, said the Government needs to act quickly to stop more closures. She said: 'Unfortunately, a lot of these pubs never come back. It's absolutely heartbreaking. 'There is a direct link between pubs closing for good and the huge jump in costs they have just endured. Pubs and brewers are important employers and are really valuable to local communities across the country. 'They have real social value. The Government needs to act at the Budget, with major reforms to business rates and beer duty.' Alex Probyn, practice leader at tax services firm Ryan, warned the squeeze on pubs is intensifying. Tiny English village that inspired the world's longest running soap opera is home to cosy historic pub and country walks He said: 'Slashing business rates relief for pubs from 75 per cent to 40 this year has landed the sector with an extra £215million in tax bills. 'For a small pub, that's a leap in the average bill from £3,938 to £9,451.

Almost 100 workers sue Scots window firm after being ‘sacked on spot' amid collapse
One former employee said it came 'completely out of the blue' COMPO BATTLE Almost 100 workers sue Scots window firm after being 'sacked on spot' amid collapse Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ALMOST 100 window factory workers are suing for compensation after they were 'sacked on the spot' when it went bust. Devastated staff told how they had no idea the firm was in trouble until they were called to a meeting to be informed they were out of a job and would not be paid. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Andrew Wright Windows made the bombshell announcement earlier this month Furious workers blasted the firm as "selfish, ignorant and shameless" after the bombshell news left them jobless. They are now taking Andrew Wright Windows to a tribunal over the shock dismissal without any redundancy consultation. One former employee told how fitters were ordered to down tools and return to the company's base in Irvine, Ayrshire. They said: 'This came completely out of the blue. Everyone was emailed about an emergency meeting then people in suits started arriving. 'They told us the company would stop trading. People were angry and upset — they told us we wouldn't be getting any wages and the only way was to claim back what was owed but it was clear we were getting nothing.' Founded more than 85 years ago, the firm had recently been taken over by businessmen Mark Bradford and Jamie Fraser. The pair bought the once family-run outfit in 2023. The closure comes just months after the business was boasting about booming profits and big plans — with turnover nearing a whopping £10million. Liquidators said turnover had fallen 35 per cent. Law firm Thomsons is representing 50 of the workers in their cash battle. Solicitor Paul Kissen said: 'Everyone was sacked on the spot. It's a terrible practice.' Scots firm plunges into liquidation after 200 years in business Directors Mark Bradford and James Fraser said: 'We are truly sorry. We did everything to turn the business around.'
