Sky is currently offering a limited-time free upgrade to some of its customers, granting access to an additional 35 channels without any extra charges. This promotion, available until October 16, automatically enhances the basic Essential TV packages to the more comprehensive Sky Ultimate TV option.
The upgraded channels include premium selections like Sky Max, Sky Crime, Sky Documentaries, U&Gold, and Comedy Central. Sky has confirmed that Essential TV customers can enjoy this offer at no additional cost until the specified date.
Moreover, subscribers do not need to take any action as the upgrade will be applied directly to their TV. If satisfied with the new channels, customers can later opt to upgrade to the Sky Ultimate TV package for just an additional £3 per month.
In a similar move, Virgin Media is also providing complimentary access to various channels, such as Sky Kids, Cartoon Network, and Baby TV throughout the month of October. This initiative allows viewers to enjoy popular shows like Pip and Posy’s Spooktacular Party, The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Peppa Pig without the usual subscription fees, coinciding with the upcoming October half-term break.
