The station will relaunch on 12 August with a new name and a new home — Jim White and co will move up the dial from channel 405 to 401.
Other Sky Sports channels will move one number up the Sky digital system.
A new schedule will put a “greater emphasis on reporting stories under investigation, delivered by a team of over 200 staff, 32 reporters and 20 presenters.”
An impressive set, which is twice the size of the current one, will be the backdrop for the new production.
