It’s been missing from our screens for what feels like years.<\/p>\n

And if you’re of a certain age, this TV channel is likely to make you hark back to your childhood.<\/p>\n

Sky has confirmed it is relaunching Sky One.<\/p>\n

The channel is associated with The Simpsons and other classic shows from the 90s and 00s.<\/p>\n

The revived channel will be replacing Sky Showcase and Sky Max on the TV guide.<\/p>\n

It may come as a surprise that Sky One was only axed as recently as 2021.<\/p>\n

But the broadcasting giant has decided it’s time for a return after five years away.<\/p>\n

It will return on Tuesday, February 24 on channel 106.<\/p>\n

Sky Showcase and Sky Max are to be ditched, bringing and end to a short-lived experiment with the two channels.<\/p>\n

Bosses said Sky One will become the home of Sky\u2019s comedy and entertainment programmes.<\/p>\n

It will also show the much-anticipated new UK version of Saturday Night Live, set to launch later this year.<\/p>\n

“Our goal is to make it easier than ever for Sky TV customers to find and enjoy the shows they love,” stated Carli Kerr, MD of Sky TV and NOW.<\/p>\n

“Building on the iconic heritage of Sky One, the channel will be a one-of-a-kind destination that’s big, bold and bursting with energy, bringing together brand-new Sky Originals like The Dyers’ Caravan Park, returning favourites such as Rob and Romesh Vs., and serving as the home of the highly anticipated Saturday Night Live UK.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The channel will be remembered fondly by children of the 1990s and 2000s.
