Sky’s new collection of streaming only channels, launched in the UK earlier this summer, is now widely available for free via Samsung TV Plus.
- Sky Sports Classics and Sky Artist of the Year channels added to Samsung TV Plus line-up.
- Available on compatible smart TVs, Galaxy phones and tablets.
- Samsung TV Plus users have easier access to the new streaming channels than existing Sky users.
Five of Sky’s newly launched streaming channels have joined Samsung TV Plus, becoming available alongside Sky Mix and Challenge on the platform.
Sky Sports Stories, Sky Sports Classics, Sky Artist of the Year, Pick Paranormal and Emergency 24/7 are now live on the platform.
First launched earlier this summer, initially available through the Xumo app on Sky Glass and Stream, Sky has promised the channels will become more widely available. They’re due to become available on Sky Q satellite receivers in due course.
As it stands, Samsung users now have easier access to the channels than Sky’s own users. While Sky Glass/Stream users can’t yet access the channels directly from the main channel list – that’s a functionality that is due to be added later on – Samsung TV Plus will find the channel are already fully integrated into the Samsung TV Plus channel list.
This means they’re listed above channel 4000 on the channel list, below the channel range reserved for traditional broadcast channels.
Additionally, users can stream the channels via the Samsung TV Plus app on Samsung phones and tablets.
Sky Glass/Stream users need to go via the Xumo app to see the channels.
