Given that now both ITV and the BBC are closing their kids linear TV channels, this would give Sky a huge boost
If they did so, Sky would gain a significant audience to children who can't get Sky or NOW. But that's a near 0% chance, Sky are in the business of boosting their Pay TV services and Sky Kids is a part of that. Smart of them to target the preschool audience where linear TV is still viable.
The CBBC closure is one to keep a very close eye on in the long term, I expect them to go further into detail of where they plan to take the brand forward either later this year or in 2024. They did something similar in December 2014 when they outlined the initial BBC Three online plan
Could do a Sky Arts on it for the prestige of it depends if their % of Mux C allows for an additional channel.
