Sky Living Loves is a British television channel owned by the British Sky Broadcasting. It is the sister channel of Sky Living and Sky Livingit. On 1 July 2010, a preview for Living Loves replaced Living +2 on Sky and Virgin Media, ahead of the channels launch at 3pm on 5 July.[1] The channel shows drama and comedy programmes that have recently aired on Sky Living, allowing viewers to watch shows again or catch up on series.[2][3]
It was announced on 25 October 2010, that Living would be rebranded as Sky Living in early 2011 and move EPG positions on Sky from channel 112 to 107 after Sky1 and before Sky Atlantic.[4] As part of the move Living Loves was rebranded as Sky Living Loves.[5][6]
On 5 September 2011, Sky Living Loves began broadcasting 24 hours a day, up from the previous 3pm to 2am broadcasting hours.
As a result of the changes to Sky Arts, Sky2 will be dropped down from 129 to 121.
Sky Living Loves will be closed down on 24 January 2012 as part of a restructure of the Sky-owned channels.[7]
