Sky trying again with an comedy channel?
I was the big of the old one back in the early 1990.

It was an part time channel (4pm - 12midnight) with Asia TV (Now Zee TV (6am to 4pm) and an other channel (I forgot it name) The Comedy Channnel only broadcast for an year (October 1991 to October 1992) to make way for Sky Movies Gold to launch.
It stop broadcasting due to the deal BSkyB had with the BBC at the time for all the Made by BBC comedy shows. Sky took the deal over when Sky with buying BSB.
The BBC wanted them back to launch UK Gold (Now Gold) in November 1992.
