Even then, looking at what has been reported with the scheduling of the new Sky Showcase... I don't see a major difference compared to Sky One and the new channel. It feels like the same meat but different packaging. Although, being that it is a "showcase" of the Sky channels, at least the flagship channel has some sort of purpose being that it now also airs US dramas and comedies already being aired by Sky Witness/Atlantic/Comedy, despite those channels already choking Sky One to death with little content besides what Sky One has produced in the last few years.
Still not a fan of the name though. I'd rather they'd go back to the days of "Sky Channel" or just calling it "Sky" which wouldn't confuse the viewer at all even though nowadays, because Sky "Channel" enforces it's the center piece or crown jewel of the Sky network of channels, it seems they promote their shows under "Sky" anyway, no sub brands or channels listed. A Twitter ad I seen basically had one of the Sky One shows marked as just "Sky".
