The new channel comes from Sky and replaces its existing Pick offering.
Sky Mix is set to take over much of Pick’s popular programmes but a load of Sky Original shows and premium dramas are being thrown in.
The channel’s current line-up includes shows like Merlin, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Border Patrol and Ghost Whisperer.
But after the revamp hits like the first series of HBO‘s True Detective will be shown, ahead of a fourth series coming out on Sky Atlantic early next year.
Some Freeview owners will have to rescan their kit on Wednesday to receive the new channel.
Sky Mix will take the slot occupied by Sky Arts, channel number 11.
Meanwhile, Sky Arts will stay on Freeview further down the list at number 36.
Sky Mix is set to launch at 11am so be ready to rescan then.
Sky and Virgin Media subscribers should find the channel on their boxes automatically.
Viewers on these platforms will be treated to Sky Mix in HD but it’ll remain in standard definition on Freeview.
Pick has been on-screen for 12 years now.
The move brings Sky’s free channel full circle, having been named Sky Three way back in 2005.
