Say hello to Sky Max and Sky Showcase

Sky One, the flagship channel of the UK broadcaster – and the oldest running non-terrestrial channel in the UK – is being closed down in September, almost 30 years after it started airing.
We wouldn't be worried about the loss of Sky's flagship channel – the broadcaster has no need to cast aside popular programming, and flagship shows and series will be continuing in some form across remaining or new channels.
Sky Showcase is the most intriguing option, however, with content drawn from across other Sky channels (Sky Nature, Sky Arts, Sky Crime, etc). So if you like a little of everything, this might be the best way to get a varied content diet without having to flick through channels or make sure you're signed up for the most extensive Sky TV packages.
However, sticking to this channel may mean you're jumping between entirely different genres every hour or so – and it's hard to tell how much of a jumble it is until Sky releases a detailed programming guide.
A Sky spokesperson says that "if you're not sure what to watch Sky Showcase will curate some of the highlights from our line-up so you can find something new to watch."
The news comes amidst reports of Sky broadband outages in various parts of the UK, but with the issue seemingly now resolved, there's little reason not to be excited for the changes ahead.
