Q: Where is the EPG slot coming from for Sky Kids to launch? 

A: Nothing has been confirmed so far but I feel any of the following may happen: 

  1. Sky UK buys Smithsonian Channel Sky EPG Slot from Paramount to use for Sky Kids.
  2. Close any of the following channels: 
  • E!
  • Sky Replay
  • Sky Showcase (Outside bet)
  • Challenge (With it Freeview slot being use by Sky Arts - as Sky own 3 Freeview slots - But Sky broadcast 4 channnels on Freeview right now.)
