I think that it was because of action taken by Mary Whitehouse that led to the 9pm watershed.

After broadcasting topless women after 5:30am, Sin TV has had its licence revoked by Ofcom because they were showing topless women after this time.

Apparently, these type of channels have an agreement/are required to either close or tone things down at 5:30am to give a half hour gap before the children's channels start a new day at 6am.
