Rachel Thomson, SKY’s Manager of General Entertainment Channels says the new channel has been the result of overwhelming customer feedback.

“There’s been an enormous amount of positive sentiment around the JONES! brand since the 2013 launch and the channel is consistently amongst SKY’s most watched. Being able to offer an even wider selection of nostalgic and escapist classic content to our customers, on JONES! too, is a no-brainer.”
