Sky’s streaming customers in both the UK and Ireland will gain access to seven previously missing channels including GREAT! Movies.
On Tuesday 13th June, a total of three movie channels, three children’s channels and one general entertainment channel will be added to the Sky Glass / Stream channel list.
The arrival of the seven channels, all operated by Narrative Entertainment, will help level up the differences in channel availability between Sky’s satellite and its streaming service. It means viewers tempted to make the switch from satellite to Sky Glass will no longer miss out on the following channels:
GREAT! tv is the home of classic drama and comedy, including Murder, She Wrote, starring the late Angela Lansbury, plus Diagnosis: Murder and M*A*S*H.
GREAT! movies is the home of free-to-air blockbusters, contemporary hits, cult classics and feature film favourites. It has two offshoots- GREAT! action and GREAT! romance, also coming to Sky Glass and Stream.
For children, POP, Tiny POP and POP Max provide entertainment for children of all ages.

Sky Glass first launched in the UK in October 2021. The first subscribers noticed a substantial difference between the number of channels available on satellite and those available to stream.
Narrative Entertainment’s channels, which are widely available on Freeview, were some of the most prominent absentee channels on the platform.
In April, Sky introduced the first shopping channels on the online-based platform.

Sky Glass and Sky Stream are seen as the future of Sky’s TV service. Sky UK only has contracts to use satellite capacity until 2028.
