Sony Movie Channel to replace MovieMix on Freeview and Virgin

Sony is promising an “enhanced” line-up of top movies, including Godzilla, Twilight, Once Upon a Time in Mexico and Maid In Manhattan, from next week when it rebrands its MovieMix channel on Freeview and Virgin as Sony Movie Channel.

The Sony-branded channel already airs on Sky and the broadcaster says bringing the two channels together will create “one mega movie destination for film fanatics across all three platforms.”

Boasting a new look, Sony Movie Channel will bring viewers with 14 channel premieres in its first month including Godzilla, Twilight, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Maid In Manhattan, The Mask of Zorro and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

Kate Marsh, executive vice president of Sony Pictures Television’s Western Europe International Networks division said: “Sony has a rich cinematic heritage. With our knowledge and love of movies we want to present the best possible movie channel for everyone across the UK and build on our wide-ranging, successful portfolio.

“The cinematic new look reflects the new channel content offering – favourite movies you will know and love.”

From 10th January 2017 you can find Sony Movie Channel on Freeview 32, Sky 323 and Virgin 425.
