Sattelite Television UK began broadcasting in April 1982,and originally did not have a UK broadcasting licence, rendering it legally similar in that territory to the popular pirate radio stations of twenty years before. In 1982 Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation acquired 80% of the company and renamed the service Sky Channel. The channel became widely available in Ireland in 1987. It was relaunched as Sky Television on February 5, 1989.

Channel 4 is a public service television broadcaster in the United Kingdom. It was created by an Act of Parliament and started broadcasting on November 2, 1982.

Hope that answers your question. Very Happy
