Shortlived TV channels

[Neil Jones]

Isn't one of the Sky Cinema channels basically a descendent of BSB's Movie Channel too? Though there's been so much rebranding and rearranging of those channels over the years it's probably hard to keep track of which one it is now.

Yes, essentially. Though I don't know the ins and outs of how it is all organised internally. As you'll remember, you could subscribe to Sky Movies, The Movie Channel, or both (and get Sky Movies Gold and the Disney Channel if you had both). I believe that arrangement continued throughout the different guises of Sky Movies up to and including the early days of the genre era.

I believe the old BSB Movie Channel became Sky Movies Screen 2 which eventually became what is now Sky Cinema Premiere.
