The question those wanting to know should not be "will CNN still be on Sky after 1st Sept 2021?" but should be "will CNN still be on Sky after 1st Jan 2022?".
Been told CNN carriage deal with Sky will expire sometime before November 2024.

Last deal Sky done with WarnerMedia was an FIVE yrs deal - Confirmed on October 31st 2019.

The movement to higher sid numbers is normal until the channels are completely removed about 3 months after closure. I had been given the information this morning but didn't think it was worth posting.
I know about that QVC Extra bit.

Also you will only have until the end of September to watch any FOX shows on your boxes until the channels are completely removed.

TiVo says that CNN will close on Virgin Media Channel 607 at midnight on Tuesday (early Wednesday).

Now we know that Virgin Media UK has signed an new deal to keep broadcasting the rest of the WarnerMedia channels minus CNN International.

Is Boomerang HD set to launch on Virgin Media as part of this deal?
