I suspect the answer lies with broadacasting rights now focused on country to country that they couldnt show certain items for example formula one is free to air in Austria but its on skysports F1 hence why BBC world not BBC 1 is shown but are there any other countries that broadcast a world service ? or even just blackend the screens saaying due to rights they cant show this would better than nothing.

Thanks Ben Mcrs yes France 24 I forgot, but a coupel of news channels and one genuine channel is not enough IMO although to satisfy everyone would need x amount of channels surely europe would be a good start in fact we dont have even have Irish channels here and only recently S4C and BBC alba and you would consider them part of britain. Whether its niche or not we owe it to our community and cultures to highlight awareness and underatdn more about ourselves.

I suspect Canadians are in the same boat as Austria, jsut getting from USA and Germany respectivly
Channels back then was axe for low viewers numbers - Travel Channel being one of them.

But the hours was cut back before their was axe to make room for new channels to launch like UK Style, Granada Talk, Sky Scottish, Granada Goodlife, .tv to launch around 1996.
