We still don’t have Sky Atlantic but Sky’s newest channel, Sky Comedy, is to launch on Virgin Media on channel 121 on January 27th.
From the Press Release:

Sky Comedy will be the home of premium scripted US comedy from HBO, NBC and Showtime, including brand new acclaimed comedies like Mrs Fletcher, starring Kathryn Hahn, The Righteous Gemstones, starring John Goodman, Adam DeVine and Danny McBride, A.P. Bio and Sunnyside.  

This is big news for Virgin customers as Sky Comedy will also air all new series of returning hit US shows that had previously only been shown on Sky Atlantic: Barry, Veep, Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm and Ballers starring Dwayne Johnson.
