Sky TV to rename movie channels

The satellite broadcaster Sky TV has announced that there will be another sorting out of the channels within its Sky Movies section.

As from the 26th March subscribers will notice that Screen 1 and Screen 1 HD will become Showcase and Showcase HD.

This will allow the channel to show series of films and on the first day of the launch of Showcase, it will be showing all three of The Mummy series of films.

Over the year there will be other specials, such as Tim Burton and Need For Speed weekends, all available in HD too.

Further changes to the Sky Movies line up will take place over the year: Sky Movies Action & Thriller will now be Sky Movies Action & Adventure/HD, Sky Movies Drama will slightly change to Sky Movies Drama & Romance/HD and Sky Movies Screen 2 will be known as Sky Movies Crime & Thriller/HD.
