Re: Wire TV
I have it listed as launching on 4th May 1993.

They also got the rights in 1994 to show Wimbledon tennis highlights each evening.

There is a clip sometimes show on 'It'll be Alright on the Night' where a phone-in viewer had problems understanding the quiz format.

Does anyone remember the channel and what type of programming did the channel feature? I know it showed sport during the evening and that it was linked and presented live from a shopping centre.

I also believe that there were opt-outs for local cable companies to show their own programmes. What programming was shown during those opt-outs?
