What other sports rights did Wire TV show?

And what other programmes did they show during their daytime hours because sport was shown, I believe, in a four-hour evening block, and what was shown during the local out-outs?

Also, I believe the channel was only on air between 1pm and 11pm. What was shown during the channel's downtime and did it share with other channel(s)?
When I fist got cable, Wire TV’s highlight seemed to be a fishing programme.

The channel really was the pits - I only watched something that was on there once and never went there again!

Maybe it had better days previously, in which case how could they let it deteriorate so badly?
