From tomorrow, Sky customers will be getting three brand new channels - Sky Documentaries, Sky Nature and Sky History - which are being added to the service at no extra cost.
These will all be available to subscribers both live and on-demand via Sky, as well as through Now TV, and are all included in the cost of viewers' monthly product, as opposed to additional bundles like Sky Sports and Sky Cinema.
Along with two new channels dedicated respectively to nature and history programmes, there will be a new home for feature-length documentaries and series, that promise to 'challenge, provoke and entertain'.
The Sky Documentaries channel will house 100 on-demand titles, including HBO, Showtime and Hulu exclusives, plus new original Sky projects.

It will cover a wide range of topics from sport and politics through to real-life controversies, kicking off with McMillions (27 May), a mini-series about the decade-long McDonald's Monopoly scam.
Other highlights coming up include Muhammad Ali documentary Ali Vs Cavett (TX 29 May); Hillary (TX 11 June), which provides an intimate portrait of Hillary Clinton; music doc Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men (TX 24 June); and The Plastic Nile (TX 1 June), which looks at the 'devastating effect of plastic pollution on the world's longest river'.
Meanwhile, Sky Nature will become the home to 'breath-taking natural history programming', all of which will explore the beauty and wonder of the natural world - while also inspiring us all to do more to look after it.
