Planned reshuffle of EPG by Sky
by Lin Freestone
Sky is planning a reshuffle of its EPG to create more spaces in 13 of its genres. The broadcaster is planning to fill gaps created by channel launches and departures, with existing channels moving up in the guide. They will, however, retain their positions relative to each other. Six genres - lifestyle and culture; religion; music; shopping; gaming; dating - will be moved to inhabit different channel number blocks. The changes will be made during summer 2008 and channels will be informed of their new positions towards the end of April. Nicola Bamford, Sky’s director of channels and operations, has explained the changes. She said: “In making these changes we believe we can improve navigability for customers, make more efficient use of available channel numbers and ensure that growing genres have the flexibility they need for future expansion.” Story link: Planned reshuffle of EPG by Sky

Sincere apologies for that - looks like it happened with the forum upgrade the other day, but now fixed. :)
