Sky to Launch Dedicated James Bond Channel

LONDON: Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the James Bond franchise, BSkyB is launching Sky Movies 007 HD, which will feature all 22 films in the collection.

The channel launches this October for Sky Movies TV and Sky Go subscribers, as well as on NOW TV. The move follows the recent acquisition of the complete James Bond film collection from ITV.

Ian Lewis, the director of Sky Movies, commented: “The Bond movies are a very special franchise and we want to ensure that our customers will be able to experience it in a way they’ve never been able to before, and so we’re going to create a dedicated channel Sky Movies 007 HD devoted entirely to James Bond showing the entire catalogue of films and loads of extra material.”
