We’ve discussed before that, in the case of The Simpsons specifically, that’s likely to be for contractual reasons as Sky Showcase is (technically) the successor and current iteration of the channel that was Sky One. However, all other new programming has moved to Sky Max, which is more the spiritual successor to Sky One.

Basically, Sky’s channel strategy has changed, but they are unable to move The Simpsons to Sky Max (which they probably would do if they could). However, aside from that exception, their programming has all been moved to align with the new strategy.
