Re: Cable exclusive channels

You didn't have such things as channel numbers on satellite until EPGs like Sky appeared.

Most of these transponders were feeds for cable operators to take at times where they had agreements and were not part of any package. So Kindernet was for Dutch cable but 'Yesterday in the Commons' was for UK cable.

It was known as 'The Learning Channel' which launched in 1992 - TLC name wasn't really used in Europe until it's latest incarnation which started in 2003.

This therefore means that the line-up as:

0600 Kindernet
0900 Closedown
1200 TLC
1500 Discovery
2300 Today in the Commons

And did they all share the same channel number?
