So that was bsb newspaper review 🤔 sounded like when the BBC programme 'That's Life 'read out viewers letters 😆

[@anthonyperkins7556]

BSB Movie Channel presented movies in full digital stereo and excellent picture quality and they looked and sounded far better than Sky's PAL pictures and compressed analogue Wegener Panda 1 stereo sound.

[@europa2000man]

The music used for the programme menu (or film menu) was used a year previous in 1989 on an RTE 1 closedown sequence in Ireland. It was on RUclips until recently, when the channel closed down.

[@stickytapenrust6869]

That would have been the excellent KillianM2 channel.

@@stickytapenrust6869 That's the one. Such a shame his channel is now gone. Typical RUclips policies and copyright nonsense.

[@stickytapenrust6869]

@@europa2000man Copyright is hardly nonsense. I don’t own any of the stuff on my channel, for instance, so if the copyright ID system tells me to cut something, I just do it.

So does anyone know what it was called?

The British Sky Broadcasting.

It's interesting how BSB signed a deal with Cannon Films to show their films, as like BSB, Cannon was suffering financially with a ton of debt

I wonder what came of the Test Card and all the other BSB Test Card's? I know some survived on Sky for a while longer.

[@franksobotka5057]

Good Times.

[@stickytapenrust6869]

Not for BSB. They were taken over by Sky exactly 3 months after this recording because they were haemorrhaging cash!

[@SailorCallie]

Fancy test card.

[@debbieparkes3588]

Callie Ray.
That test card is fancy indeed.

[@5beradik712]

nice

[@LeeCorne]

Haha! I remember that pub sign in Stockport. It was a gay pub, previously called Byrons. Got shut down for holding live sex shows

[@castle6742]

How did Sky Run BSB did they just use their own satellites for a little while before they closed it down

[@glassowlie]

Essentially, yes. Some channels were merged with other Sky Channels and then the rest was kept for a short time. After the merger of the channels, the Marco Polo satellite signals stopped for good.

[@bsb5327]

What is the music in the programming line up

[@cromulence]

Blazing Colours by Dave Hewson.
