MILLIONS of Sky and Virgin Media viewers are set to see their TV guides reshuffled this February, with two much-loved channels being pulled off air.
Sky has confirmed a shake-up to its TV guide across Sky Q, Sky+ and Sky Glass.
The biggest bombshell sees Sky Showcase and Sky Max axed later this month.
They will be replaced by the long-awaited return of iconic channel Sky One.
The relaunched station will land on channel 106 from February 24.
Sky One was scrapped four years ago but is now making a major comeback.
