SKY is about to unleash a major TV guide shake-up that swaps out several kids channels – and adds some festive fun too.
The TV giant regularly makes changes to its channel line-up to keep it fresh.
And as the festive season approaches, we’ll Sky dropping in more holiday treats.
Sky usually only announces its channel swaps for the coming week ahead.
Now the broadcaster has revealed two batches of swaps due next week.
And it kicks things off on Monday, November 3 with eight channel changes.

LIVING THE STREAM
Cheap Sky bundle gets you 43in 4K telly, FREE Netflix & channels for £21
That includes Nick Jr. Too being rebranded to Nick Jr. Peppa.
This is listed as a “temporary change”, and means kids will be able to watch more Peppa Pig content.
And Nick SpongeBob is reverting back to its original branding of Nicktoons.
You’ll find that on channel 605 on satellite, or 205 if you have a Sky Glass TV or Sky Stream box.
The Sky Halloween channel will, unsurprisingly, be changed from its spooky branding.
And it will instead rebrand to Sky Martial Arts HD.
For a bit of Christmas spirit, Sky is renaming MTV 90s to MTV XMAS, so you’ll be able to catch some festive jingles too.
Then on Friday, November 7, the channel-swapping action continues.
We’ll be seeing Sky Martial Arts transforming into Sky Christmas HD.
Sky notes that this is just a temporary change.
ANOTHER SKY TRICK TO TRY
Here’s a bit of fun…
You can unlock loads of classic games on Sky for free.
Just load up your Sky TV, go to the apps menu, and look for Games by Play.Works.
It’s packed with top games including retro titles like Pac-Man, Breakout, and Tetris.
There are kids games too, and quizzes that you can play together as a family.
You don’t need a special controller.
Instead you simply play using your Sky TV remote.
The only catch? You’ll have to sit through ads – but you won’t pay a penny to play.

And Sky Cinema Action and Sky Comedy will be changing to Transformers HD and Pitch Perfect HD respectively.
Here’s the full list…

We’d also expect Sky to make even more changes later in the month, but we won’t know until the latest swaps are revealed each week.
