Shortlived TV channels

[Kojak]

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.

I am going to be SUPER pedantic (apologies in advance!) and say that whilst you are broadly right, I think it was actually Sky Movies Gold that ultimately became Sky Cinema Premiere. I say this because I remember that when the channels were first reorganised into genres, it was Premiere that was the bonus channel only available to those who had the full movie package.
