Perspective
On 1 July 2010, a preview for Living Loves replaced Living +2 on Sky and Virgin Media, ahead of the channel's launch at 3pm on 5 July.[1] The channel broadcast comedy and drama programmes that had recently aired on Sky Living, allowing viewers to watch shows again or catch up on shows they missed.[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 on 1 February 2011 as Sky Living Loves.[5][6]
On 5 September 2011, Sky Living Loves began broadcasting 24 hours a day, up from the previous 3 pm to 2 am broadcasting hours.[original research?] Programmes included Will & Grace, Private Practice, Ghost Whisperer and Charmed.
In November 2011, it was announced that Sky Living Loves would close on 1 February 2012 as part of a restructure of the Sky-owned channels.[7][8] However, the restructure was delayed until 21 February 2012, with the channel closing at midnight.[9][10]
Sky Living Loves was replaced by the new Sky Sports F1 channel, while the channel's EPG slot on Sky was given to Sky Arts 2.[citation needed]
