Oh , I don't know

especially if they show Glenroe, Fair City, High Road, River City, etc... A lot of these have never appeared on the other "main" stations!! And maybe even BLue Heelers and Shortland Street as well as repeats of E-Street and Flying Doctors!!!

That's been covered by Paramount Comedy 1, 1+1, 2 which, funnily enough, Sky has a share interest in!!!!!!

Didn't BSkyB only have "Sky Arts" originally because it was a requirement of the continuing BSB licence and was only shown on the former-Marco Polo streams.

AFAIK it was ditched the minute the BSB commitment ended on 31/12/92.

I always did think it was odd that they helped Artsworld to survive, and then bought the whole channel some time later. Perhaps it's a guilty conscience for some of the tat that they put out on their other channels Laughing

Sky Arts was an opt-out service from the Sky News television channel on the Marcopolo satellite.

Thats from the Sky Arts wiki so choose yourself whether or not you trust it Wink

I wonder what will happen to www.artsworld.com ? The address skyarts.com looks to be for a different site altogether.
