Sky has more than doubled its number of HD customers in the past year following a campaign to promote the service at a reduced price.
The broadcaster says its 3D channel will carry content including movies, entertainment and sport. 3D-ready TVs are expected to be available in the UK next year.
Sky is aiming to become the first TV company in the UK to launch a 3D channel. In April, it broadcast a performance by the band Keane, live from Abbey Road Studios, via its satellite network to a Sky+HD set-top box and domestic 3D-ready TV.
