The launch of Germany's Vox from January 1993, when it was a mostly news-and-information service (The format was unsuccessful and Vox eventually relaunched as a general entertainment channel):



And from 1995, here's an even shorter-lived news channel, Australia's TNC -- with an appearance by Michael Holmes, now of CNNI:



This is how Variety reported on its demise:

Quote:
Rupert Murdoch’s teaming with archrival Kerry Packer to produce an Aussie feevee news channel has triggered the collapse of a rival news operation called Australian Information Media (AIM) – and sparked a political outcry.

AIM, a A$100 million ($75 million) joint venture between pubcaster Australian Broadcasting Corp., U.S.-based Cox Communications and Fairfax publishing, announced Sept. 28 it was suspending business operations and closing The News Channel (TNC) after a short but bumpy ride. The closure resulted in 110 layoffs.

Although fully operational since its launch date three weeks ago, TNC’s future looked precarious after both Oz cablers – Murdoch-backed Foxtel and Packer-backed Optus Vision – rejected TNC as being too expensive for carriage after months of tortured negotiations.

Three weeks? Blimey that is a short run. I assume when it says about Murdoch and producing a channel, they're referring to Sky News Australia?

Indeed. According to Wikipedia, BSkyB held a 33% share in Sky News Australia when it launched. (Seven and Nine were the other two partners.)

Yes. The intro theme of Xinwen Lianbo (literally translated as "news simucast") was composed and put into use in March 1988. It has not been changed since then.
