Re: OnDigltal/ITV Digital exclusive channels and services

Right at the start of its short life, ITV did purchase rights to exclusive events to try to drive take-up, including a Mike Tyson fight and a pop concert by, i think, Steps. I seem to recall they were shown on a channel called First OnDigital.

Interesting that OnDigital chose to again copy what Sky had done a decade earlier when Sky showed boxing and music concerts (plus WWF) on Sky Movies in the early 1990s, renaming the channel to Sky Movies Plus during this period. This continued until Sky Sports became a subscription channel on 1 September 1992.
