A Foxtel Movies Ultra HD channel will launch on November 7 as part of a new movies channel line-up announced in a customer update.
This includes the launch of a new Movies Ultra HD channel.
But Disney Movies will be replaced by Movies Kids, a dedicated movie channel for kids.
Masterpiece Movies will be rebranded to Movies Drama.
More Movies will be rebranded to Movies Hits, the place for popular must-see flicks.
Movie Greats will be rebranded to Movies Masterpiece.
There will also be a shuffle of channel numbers.
Meanwhile a FOX Sports Ultra HD channel will also replace channel 4K Ultra HD and see ESPN HD move from channel 508 to 509 and ESPN2 HD from 509 to 510.
The changes come with the launch of FOX-branded channels, FOX Crime, FOX One, FOX Funny & FOX H!TS while Disney+ streaming also launches in Australia.

@ David Knox – I can only assume the dropping of Movies Disney brand comes as part of the Disney+ launch, but does Foxtel still maintain its output deal with Disney? Or is Kids, Family and the rest of the suite losing Disney films?
